Rocks

This month's meeting will be a show and tell of rocks and minerals that have been found in Nevada and in some cases purchased. Members will try to identify the rocks and also tell where they have found various rocks locally. The new board will also be introducing themselves and letting the group know what the new plans for the upcoming year are. Come share your rocks and stories, meet new people that share your interest and have some refreshments with us.
