President's Message:
Hello fellow prospectors,
I’m getting cabin fever and
itching to get out to the claims. The price of gold has gone over $560.00 an
ounce and silver is $9.60 an ounce.
WOW!!
If anyone needs help in
working any of the equipment please let us know. We have people in the club that can
help. That is what this club is for.
Think about where you would
like to have outings this year. We will
discuss it at the meeting.
My thanks go out to Gena
Cameron for her volunteering to put out the newsletter.
May the bottom of your pan
turn yellow.

Vice President's message:
Hi everyone: I'm sure you're
all looking forward to the new gold prospecting year. All this snow and rain is
definitely going to wash lots of the shiny yellow stuff down to the streams,
just waiting for us. It may be a late start for prospect-ing, but it should
definitely be worth it! Take care, and we'll see you out in the field.

Secretary’s report for
January 10 2006 meeting.
Chuck opened the meeting and
welcomed all of the visitors.
A motion was made to pass the
minutes that were in the November newsletter, it passed.
Chuck asked if anyone is
interested in putting together the newsletter for the club and Gena Cameron
volunteered. Thank you!
Jesse gave the treasurer’s
report. He also thanks everyone who
mailed in their renewal forms. This
helped with the lines somewhat, but please be patient.
Jesse received the registration
renewal for the trailer; he said that he would take care of it.

Old Business:
Rob Robison asked about
having the club buy some new equipment, but it was pointed out that the
equipment that we already have isn’t being used so why buy new. A suggestion was made to have a list of what
is available printed in the newsletter, but there seems to be quite a bit of
confusion. Anyone who would like to be
the equipment manager, please see an officer.
Tami explained what a common
outing is to the new members. She
suggested that the club have one this summer.
Stanley Skarzynski asked
about have a metal detecting outing for learning purposes.
The Silver City claims might
not be accessible this year due to road construction.
New business:
Ron Mackleprang said that he
got the ad placed to see if anyone is interested in leasing the club access to
their land.
Al Malmstrom discussed the
constitution. He says we need to make
some changes. A motion was made to put
together a committee to discuss changes and bring them to the next meeting. It was seconded by Tami and the club passed
it. The committee is: Al Malmstrom, Ron
Mackleprang, and Rob Robison.
The drawing was held. The following people donated items:
Warren Jindrich – power cord,
extension cord, and crazy glue
John Cameron – 2 Knives
Chuck Knapp – bags and sucker
bottles
Chuck had a speaker talk
about a gas saver for your trucks.
The meeting was adjourned.

Treasurer’s report
I have been processing
memberships as they come. I just mailed
a batch of cards out, sorry for the delay.
Our finances are doing well. The
bank account has $5,107.95. I have
drafted a budget that I will present to the board for additional ideas. Look for more on this in the future. Tax season is here, so if I am slow in
responding to email, please forgive me.
