September 2026 Program: Silent Auction
Presented by: Jeff Dengrove - Auctioneer
September brings us the Del-Air Rockhounds annual silent auction. Always a favorite among our members. Join us and bid on the rock related items that tickle your fancy. Each item will be labeled with its name and starting bid. Add your name to the list along with your bid and if you are the last name when the auction is called, you win that item. Bring a bag or box to carry your winning items home and please try to bring $1 and $5 dollar bills so our treasurer can easily make change for you.

Shellie Van Winkle's Vacation Home
Sign-up sheet at September's General Meeting
September brings the return of our Wrightwood, CA Potluck/Field Trip. Another one of our club member's favorite events. Club treasurer, Shellie Van Winkle, has once again, most generously, donated the use of her vacation home as our field trip staging location as well as the place to eat our potluck lunch. Please advise field trip chair Joe Mastro or president Jeff Dengrove of your intent to attend this event and what you will be bringing for the potluck. Please think of main dishes, side dishes and desserts. Shellie will be providing coffee and some sort of breakfast pastry for the meet-up at 9:30 am at her home. Bring your own drinks with you and please plan on bringing your empty bottles, cans, trash and any leftover food from the dish you brought back home with you as there is no garbage collection in the area. As usual, we will head down to the collecting area around 10:00 am and collect for a couple of hours or so and then head on back to Shellie's to enjoy a nice potluck lunch. After lunch, you may return to the collecting area, which is just steps from Shellie's home, and collect to your heart's content. Remember to bring your Del-Air Tote Bags that I know you all purchased from Amazon, to carry your treasured finds in. 🤣
