President’s Message – October 2021 (Click For More Information)

From the Top of the Rock Pile . . . .
I am so looking forward to Maple Valley Days at Lake Wilderness. It is going to be such a fun event. I still need 1 more volunteer for our club booth on Sunday morning, October 10^th. Please contact me asap if you would like to volunteer.
The club still needs rocks for the spinning wheel at this event. Please let me know if you have some and I can arrange to pick them up.
Mike and I will also be selling at this event. If you should attend the Maple Valley Days, please stop by and say hello at the club booth or the Fancy Kat Rocks booth.
As some of you know, Mike and I went on a family cruise right after our club picnic in August. We stopped in Honduras, Mexico, and the Bahamas. My favorite stop was the Bahamas. My body came home as planned but it has been hard to get my mind back home. It was so good spending quality family time together plus visiting new countries. It is very interesting talking to people and learning about their country. We saw the Mayan ruins and I even zip-lined for the first time. I loved it!
I want to welcome each of you to our rock club. I apologize if I have missed introducing myself to you. Please feel free to come up and say hello.
Kat Koch, President

October 9th – Tom Prang on Archeology & Geology

Many of our members may recognize Tom as a vendor from our gem show and many others. His booth is “A Point in Time.” I have given him free rein to talk about whatever he wants. He is always so interesting to stand at his show booth and listen to him talk. This meeting should be very interesting. Show ‘n Tell: A fossil of any type.
