LET’S GET ROCKING!

Our club serves the Quad-city area with many members from Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Paulden, Dewey-Humboldt and surrounding areas.

Our membership is diverse with many facets of the rock hounding hobby represented. You will find members who are interested in field trips, lapidary, faceting, beading, intarsia, prospecting, wire wrapping, silver smithing, commercial sales, kids’ activities and more. We have something for everyone.

We are proud supporters of Yavapai College, our local junior college. Many of our group are retired, but still find the hobby both challenging and rewarding. Whatever your interests, you are likely to find kindred spirits in our club.

Our club show is our primary money maker. We also hold raffles at our monthly meetings with mineral specimens and lapidary slabs donated by our members. We also sell T-shirts and hats to help raise money for the club.

Our treasury is strong and we are aiming towards acquiring our own workshop. This is an ambitious undertaking and will continue to be our fund raising focus for the foreseeable future. We considered acquiring a building for our meetings, but the cost seemed prohibitive since we would only use it once a month.

We welcome new people and new ideas. We like to think that we are doing things well, but even the best can be improved. If you have ideas about how to improve the club, feel free to voice them to any club officer. You will not always see your idea accepted, but you will at least have it politely heard.

We encourage all members to join in running the club. We hold elections in November and welcome all interested members to run for office. In addition, we have many appointed positions and welcome willingness to accept such a role. Just let an officer know that you are willing to help and we will find a place for you to participate.

This club will be whatever its members make of it. If members sit back and watch, others will determine the future. If new members dive in, meet people and participate in as many activities as possible, they will help shape the club and enjoy doing it. Come to a meeting and look us over. If you like us, join us.
