Don't worry if you miss out on the trip.  We'll tell you all about it in our monthly newsletter.  On occasion, we'll even bring back specimens to show our members.  There have been some outstanding field trips in the past.  Many of our leaders have taken the club to places that produce wonderful pieces to add to any rockhound collection.
