What we’re about

We enjoy learning about rocks together. We have about 200 members (not all are counted by Meetup.) We go on rock-hunting field trips. We have frequent educational and social programs at our club house. We teach artistic skills, like lapidary and silver-smithing in our workshop. We have an annual rock show, and additional events with vendors throughout the year. And we have a Junior RockHound program for the youngsters, to reach the next generation. In other words, we are very active! And you are welcome to visit for free.

This is the Meetup group for Active and Paid members!
