The February 2012 Temecula Valley Prospectors meeting will be held on Saturday, February 11th, at 9:00 am. Our meetings are held at the Temecula Community Center located at 28816 Pujol St., Temecula CA.

Everyone is welcome, so we hope to see you there!

Here are some of the things going on this month:

Item 1:

Have you been out Metal Detecting or Gold Prospecting this last month? Find anything? Then bring it to the meeting so we can see. All entries are voted on and the top two of each category will win a prize.

Item 2:

We have four great raffles each month (not counting the Grand Prize & Alaska Trip) that you can participate in while at the meeting. Not only is it a lot of fun (especially when you win), but it helps to support the club.

• Door Prize Raffle (Free): Just by signing in, you are entered into the Door Prize Raffle. We normally have 1 to 4 items that are given away each month.
• 50/50 Raffle ($1 per ticket): This is the easiest raffle of them all… if you win, you split (50/50) all of the money collected for the 50/50 raffle with the club. For example, if $70 is collected, then you as the winner will receive $35 and the other $35 goes to the club.
• Gold Raffle ($1 per ticket): There are typically 3 to 4 items each month. One bag of gold concentrate to work on your panning skills and some nice gold nuggets to show your friends.
• Table Raffle ($1 per ticket): You might be thinking, “What am I going to do with a table?” but the Table Raffle is an array of items displayed  on a table from which the winners get to  choose what they would like to have. There are typically 10-15 items ranging in value from a few dollars to over a hundred dollars, on occasion. The nice thing about the table raffle is that you can see what is there before you purchase your tickets.

Item 3:

A new Grand Prize Raffle item has been added!
