Hello Members! (and guests) A reminder, field trip to the Rolley View Rock Pile tomorrow! 10 am to 3 pm, lunch by Darcy and Linda. The Shop is loaded with High End stuff as well, Jade, Tiger Eye, Plume Agate and OPAL! Garnets and sapphire, turquoise and crystal specimens. ... Make sure you drop in. Jane has spent days organizing it so it’s easy to get at, but you may want to dig to the bottom of a pail for that special treasure!!! Need directions?? PM here!

If members are looking for equipment...

New Saw! Yes the line up to use the LS-10 slab saw was noticed, so thanks to Mary Praznik for selling, the club has a new saw!!! Installed and ready to cut, $5/hour, except no charge to Mary.

We are opening up the ETLC SHOP! Tuesday June 2nd, 7 to 9 pm, will be the first ETLC Shop day, and continuing on with the usual Thursdays, 7 to 9 pm, and the Second and Fourth Saturdays of the month, 1 pm to 5 pm. BUT, (always a but) to no more than 4 members at once, plus the shop helper, and MASKS are required. Don't bother arguing about how bad masks are with the Shop Coordinator, he has worked 12 hour shifts, for 16 consecutive days in a half face respirator, and face sh...ield, so your mask "issues" will fall on totally (really!) deaf ears. If you are the fifth member to show up, sorry, only 5 total are allowed in the shop. Period. If that makes you cranky, then you can take over as shop coordinator, effective immediately. See you in the ETLC Shop!
