The September 2011 Temecula Valley Prospectors meeting will be held on Saturday, September 10th, 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:

The annual club elections will be held this month.

Here are the elected positions:

• President
• Vice President
• Treasurer
• Secretary
• Claims Director
• Wagonmaster

The GPAA has agreed to provide two years of free GPAA membership to the first four positions (President, Vice President, Treasurer, & Secretary). If you are interested in holding an elected position please contact Ken Hannan (president@gpaatvp.com) no later than September 8th, 2011.

Item 2:

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 3:

We have four great raffles each month (not counting the Grand Prize) 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 4:

A new Grand Prize Raffle prize will be introduced.

Item 5:

If you are looking for prospecting gear, one of our club vendors, Legends Prospecting Supplies, will be there this month with all of the latest items for you to see and purchase.

There are still some tickets left for the Alaska Expedition raffle. This is a trip of a lifetime and with the raffle tickets only $10 you don’t want to miss out on this incredible opportunity. Get your tickets now!

Here is a quick update on the trip:
The Temecula Valley Prospectors is hosting a special raffle for a 2 week prospecting trip to Alaska to participate in the 2011 GPAA Alaska Expedition (includes airfare & ATV rental for one person). The tickets are $10 each and there are only 500 tickets available, so they are going to go fast. Once they are gone, the prize will be awarded. This will be the trip of a lifetime for the lucky winner, so be sure to stake your claim for a chance to go to Alaska and get your tickets now. To give you a little perspective on the value of this trip, if you were to book this trip through the GPAA it would run you $2,840.00 for the two week trip plus around $700.00 for airfare bringing the package value to about $3,540.00!! You don’t want to miss out on this one!
