Invitation from Parksville Club
From the Parksville and District Rock
and Gem Club on beautiful Vancouver Island, to our Fellow Rock Hounds, BC
wide…..HELLO!!
Hopefully this finds all rock hounds in
good spirits, avoiding the CoVid bug and exploring and hounding, albeit in our
safe modes!
Great and safer in the outdoors! We all
miss our shows!
As probably with your clubs, needed
revenue for operations is not what it used to be. Everyone’s “pitching in” so
we’ll stay safe and endure until a better normal arrives.
We here at the PDRGC, to assist our
operations, have obtained a BC lottery/raffle gaming licence to conduct legal
licenced gaming events.
So………….
We are inviting ALL fellow rock hounds
from all clubs across BC to have a chance to get in on this event!!
We have worked out a low cost event,
with prizes that should interest any
rock hound.
-The rose quartz rock is over 20lbs!.
-The tumbler is great idea for anyone!
-And the slabs alone are worth the
effort to win!!
What great in time for Christmas gifts
too!!
And.....we’ve made is so easy!
Just go to our web page, at pdrockandgem.org and see Raffle for Rocks to click right to the event!
We’ll arrange delivery, shipping.
Please pass this along to your club
membership, we appreciate the support and wish everyone good luck!!
Thank You and
Cheers to ALL!!

Sunday - Goat Mountain
The talus is well picked over, but there was stuff to be found. My agate came from a different spot - I'll wash it and post it - didn't unload tonight because I came home to snow.
I needed Jerome's help to get this out - I'll be looking for a bigger chisel, and a bigger hammer.
