   As the temperatures begin to fall  from the hot days of
Summer, it is a sure sign that the collecting season will
soon be over. I hope all has found some wonderful
treasures that will surely last forever. With that is mind,
we look forward to the colder months to come, as the
rock room workshops will begin.  Ponder the
possibilities of the treasures you found through the
Summer and bring there beauty to life. The earth has
prepared your canvas, now it is up to you to add the
finishing touch.
