The April 2012 Temecula Valley Prospectors meeting will be held on Saturday, April 14th, 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:

We will have a booth at the Las Vegas GPAA Gold Show this year. The show will be held at the South Point Hotel & Casino on 4/21 & 4/22.

Item 2:

The speaker this month is Keith H Meldahl, a Geology Professor at Mira Costa College. He has written 2 books , The Hard Road West and Rough Hewn Land.
Item 3:

We will be selling special raffle tickets for a one week trip to Alaska to participate in the GPAA 2012 Alaska Gold Expedition.

• Tickets are $10 each
• Only 500 tickets have been printed. Once they have been sold, the trip will be awarded.
• This trip is for the first week out at the camp (June 23 to 30, 2012).
• If there is room available on a different week, the GPAA may allow you to trade. But no guarantees can be made.
• What is included:
• Alaska Gold Expedition 2012 for one person on the week of 6/23/2012 to 6/30/2012.
• ATV Rental for 1 week
• Round trip airfare from Southern California
• Total value of the package: $2,500

Item 4:

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 5:

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, get $35 and the club keeps $35.
• 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 think… what am I going to do with a table?, but the Table Raffle is an array of items sitting on a table that the winners can choose from. 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 6:

Our awesome Grand Prize Raffle is still available, so be sure to get your tickets before it’s gone!

** Important **

The Temecula Rod Run is happening this weekend. This event completely shuts down Old Town Front Street from First to Moreno, so you will need to come in off of Highway 79 rather than Rancho California Road. Here is a map showing you the best way to come.

This route has worked really well in years past, but please be sure to give yourself some extra time in case you hit a detour.
