Sorry if anybody showed up at the building on January 10th for the meeting. I tried to get the news out to everyone I could, but I always seem to miss someone. I just hope if I did miss you, that you don’t take it personal.  The new website should make it a lot easier to get the news out to everyone

Our Chapter was at the San Bernardino gold show running an information booth. We were there both Saturday and Sunday. The show was a lot of fun with a full house on Saturday so you could hardly walk through the crowd some of the time. We had a lot of members show up to help with the booth and enjoy the camaraderie. More than a few Temecula Valley Prospectors went home with some kind of drawing prize (one of us even left with an all paid two week Alaska trip). It was nice to see new faces at the gold show and it is always nice to see the old faces again. I even had a man bring a sack full of tourmaline over to my booth with one piece that was green and pink and almost as big as my fist.

Thanks to all the people that came and helped out. And special thanks to Selena for bringing the magic man to our booth for some very nice slight of hand.
