WHAT WE DO...
As individuals some of us collect minerals or fossil specimens, others
create finished gem stones from rocks and crystals and still others make
beautiful jewelry from metals and gems and many members do all three.
As a club our activities are numerous and varied. Among
others we:
Present a yearly show open to the public, where our
collections and creations are on display and where merchants in goods pertaining to the hobby may present their wares.
Engage lecturers to appear at almost all our monthly meetings
Organize field trips where groups of collectors can
obtain permission to prospect at sites where individuals normally are not
allowed.
May award a cash scholarship each year to a deserving
student of the earth sciences to assist in his/her education. Also, an
honorary award may be given to a citizen of Pinellas County who
has made a contribution toward conservation the previous year.
Share our skills and experience with our fellow members. Instructional
classes for members which are held in the club house.
Publish a monthly bulletin that contains news of the clubs
activities, news of the Southeast Federation and other clubs, articles pertaining to our hobby and many other facts of interest.
Share a high degree of camaraderie.
