President’s Message

Happy Fourth of July everyone!!

We had a GREAT outing at Pioneerville last month! We had at least 20 people there, everyone found gold, and the weather was perfect. It was one of the best outings we've had for a while, and I was really happy at the turnout. Thanks, everyone, who participated in this, and particularly thanks to Lawre Buys who was gracious enough to help teach panning to some new members. Our outing in July will be to our claims in Silver City. I'm looking forward to having as many participants for this outing as we had last month.

See you at the meeting and have a happy and safe holiday.

Tami Palin, President

 

Editor’s note - Bryce Ostler won the drawing for the nugget at the Pioneerville outing.
