| Welcome to our club pages. We invite you to come and visit us anytime. Guest and new members are always welcome. Our meeting times are listed below, and if you have any questions or comments about our site, let us know. We are an active club, that loves to go collecting as often as we can. Most of which happens in the Summer. Our travels take us to many places. Sometimes as a group, and sometimes with our families. Most of the time it's to another state, or 2. Sometimes 3 or 4. We have no boundries, but we all have one thing in common. That is, we all love rocks. Some of us like agates, and some like minerals. Heck some of us just like everything. Even those leaverites. We have members that cuts cabs and some that facet. We have tumblers, and jewelry makers. We also have lapidary work shops in the winter months. Pretty much a salad bar of talent. So come have a look see. We look forward to meeting new friends that have the same interest that we do. Quite simply, we love to talk rock. Of course I have always said, "Any day you can talk rock, is a good day". Keep those eyes on the ground. You never know what you'll find. It just might be a Fairburn! |
