BC Rockhounder Online

Greg Carson has produced two online issues of the Rockhounder - available for BC Lapidary Members to download. Unless you have an extremely fast internet service, I would suggest you download the regular version, not the high resolution.

Greg wants contributions for the upcoming issues.

The Christmas Party - Good Food, Good Times, Good Friends

Thirty-one members and spouses gathered at the Barley Mill Pub on Saturday for our annual Christmas party and silent auction. An enjoyable time and great food. When I left, a patrol car saw me drive out of the parking lot, and pulled me over - I think he was a little disappointed that I don't drink alcohol.

Club Show and Sale at Cherry Lane

Busy day at Cherry Lane - demos, great product, and interested people. Thank-you to all of the club members who participated and helped raise the profile of the club.

Rest in Peace, John Fair

Our condolences go out to John's family. John lost his life on November 10th in a two vehicle crash east of Rock Creek. Boundary Creek Times reports that slippery road conditions were likely a contributing factor in the crash.

John was most generous at Rendezvous allowing access to his gold claim for field trips.
