October
2016 Program: Annual Silent Auction
Now is the time to bring some of that neat rock you
probably found on your vacation
travels here and there. We will have a GREAT SILENT
AUCTION at our Nov. Meeting and your contributions will make it even better.
Anyone can bring something to put on the auction
tables. If you think it is really special, mark it for the EXTENDED AUCTION
table and tell the set up crew what the bid should start at.
Our auction is really many auctions until everything
gets a bid and someone takes it home. Bidding starts at 25 cents on each item
and goes up by 25 cents or more. When the timer rings, the last name on the
list gets the item and pays the club treasurer.
Yes, we still have a ‘KIDS ONLY’ table. Not only rocks
are on the tables. There can be many items used in our hobby, baked goods,
homemade items. ALL VERY NICE ITEMS YOU WILL WANT TO BID ON!
This is always a lot of fun, for everyone and remember
- KEEP YOUR PENCIL
HANDY, BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL PUT A BID ON TOP OF YOURS. Emmy Silverman – Program Director

Granada Hills Street Faire
Saturday October 8th 2016
Set up 8:30 am.
Event runs 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
This will be
our third year at this event and it will be bigger and better than ever with
our double wide booth we will have this time around.
We are bringing our Spin-a-Wheel, Grab Bags,
Kids Games, Gumball Machine & our Educational Mineral and Fossil Specimens
with a Touch & Feel table as well. We will also have many mineral, fossil
and jewelry items for sale. We will be talking, educating & disseminating
information on all aspects of our hobby involving the Earth Sciences.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Please find some time to volunteer for a 2-hour
shift (or more if you wish) somewhere between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm to help
operate the booth. There is no rocket science here and you do not have to be an
expert in anything. We’ll show you what to do and we guarantee you will have a
blast doing it.
