We last met on Saturday, November 2nd. We made rings using ring forms, glue, and cabochons. We also learned how to make a ring using wire and a bead on a ring mandrel.
Thank you to all the members who have donated, volunteered, or put on a program. Remember our motto is “each one teach one.”
Did you know that the Junior Rockhounds program is included with your family membership? The program introduces kids to the many facets of earth’s geology and composition with science and fun, and hands on projects. Occasionally there are field trips especially for the kids. The CCGMS Junior Rockhound program is suitable for ages 8 and up, but parental attendance is required. Also, one of the most fun parts of being a member of CCGMS is access to the Cobb-L-Shop; this benefit is extended to all members, including the Junior Rockhounds. Oh… and be sure to visit the Juniors’ rock pile at the fence line (or donate some yourself)! – – –

Most of the field trips that are set up by CCGMS or one of our affiliates is accessable to the Junior Rockhounds, pending parental permission. These trips include fossil hunting, prospecting, and much more! Several times a year, there are special Field Trips set up just for the Junior Rockhounds.
Junior Rockhounds have access to the classes specially curated for them. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the materials and make beautiful works of art.
