This month we are introducing a new item for the Grand Prize Raffle. It is a beautiful prospecting picture called “Roy’s Rocker” by John Agrella and would look great hanging on your wall at home. This picture has been beautifully framed and signed by the artist. Click here to see a bigger image of the picture.

Be sure to come to the meeting so you can see this work of art in person.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the great response to our activation emails! We discussed this at the meeting last month and I just got things rolling last Friday, but the response has been terrific. We’ve had 34 new email subscriptions and 28 forum activations since I sent out the emails.  This will definitely help keep everyone up to date with what is going on with the group.

Just a quick reminder… Our December Club Meeting & Christmas Party is this Saturday, December 12th at 9:00 am. Hope to see you there!

Ho Ho Ho and a Merry Christmas to all!

Next Saturday, December 12th, is our monthly club meeting and the annual Temecula Valley Prospectors Christmas Party.

The meeting will go from 9:00 am to 10:00 am and the pot luck and raffle will go from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.

This is always a fun event, so I hope you can make it. If you are planning on attending, please bring wrapped, non-gender, gifts/donations for the table with a suggested value between $10 & $20. We are also having a Pot Luck, so be sure to contact Sue or Diane to see what you can bring. They can be reached at refreshments@gpaatvp.com.

Did you see the new item we have for the Grand Prize Raffle? It is a Desert Fox Automatic Gold Panning Machine and we introduced it at last month’s meeting (November).

If you’ve ever panned large amounts of concentrates, you know how long it takes and how much you ache, especially the lower back, when you’re finally done. With an automatic panning machine, it is as simple as adding the concentrates to the machine and watching the gold slide up the spirals and into your collection cup.

If you’ve never seen one of these in action, be sure to be at the meeting this month (12/12/2009) as I will be bringing my own Desert Fox to show you how it works. I will talk about the machine, give you some tips on how to get the most out of it, and will actually run some concentrates through so you can see how well it really works.

Whether you are a seasoned, competition winning, gold panner, or a beginner just starting out, I think you will be impressed with what the Desert Fox can do and how much time it can save you.

Remember that everyone is welcome at our club meetings, so bring your friends and family next Saturday, December 12th, for some good ol’ prospecting fun. We meet at the Temecula Community Center located at 28816 Pujol St., Temecula CA and we hope to see you there.

The November TVP meeting will be held on Saturday, November 14th, 2009. We will be starting at 9:00 am, but the doors will be open at 8:00 am if you want to come early.

Don’t forget that we have a new meeting place: Temecula Community Center located at 28816 Pujol St., Temecula CA.

This month we have a new grand prize for the raffle… a Desert Fox Spiral Panning Maching from Camel Mining Products.

The Desert Fox is the original spiral panning device that was first introduced back in 1969 as the Little Camel. There are many copycat machines out there, but the Desert Fox is top notch. I personally have a Desert Fox and just love it. It is just amazing to watch it in action and see the gold walking up the spirals.

The club meetings are an excellent forum to meet with your fellow prospectors and treasure hunters. It is the perfect setting to talk about your recent outings and learn what’s been going on with everyone else.

I hope to see you there.

The October TVP meeting will be held on Saturday, October 10th, 2009. We will be starting at 9:00 am, but the doors will be open at 8:00 am if you want to come early.

Don’t forget that we have a new meeting place: Temecula Community Center located at 28816 Pujol St., Temecula CA.

This month we are having our “TVP Members Raffle” which should be a lot of fun. This has been referred to as the “White Elephant Raffle” in the past, but that tends to give the impression that the raffle items aren’t something you would want… which couldn’t be farther from the truth. Here is how it works:

1. Rather than the club buying goodies for the raffle table, the members are asked to bring the items.
2. They can be new items or they can be “gently used” items, but they should be something you would want to pick yourself.
3. The items don’t have to be related to prospecting and can be anything that you feel is appropriate.
4. If an item comes in that the board doesn’t feel should be included in the raffle, they will remove the item from the table.
5. This is a great fundraiser for the club and should be a lot of fun, so start gathering up your items now.

Club meetings are a great place for our “newbie” prospectors to learn some tips and tricks about prospecting and a place for our more “seasoned” members to share their knowledge with others. We always have a great time and, as always, there is never a cost to attend a club meeting.

We look forward to seeing you all on October 10th.

Come join us on September the 12th for some good gold talk and fellowship. Everyone is welcome to come.

Don’t miss this meeting. We have a lot going on. We will be giving away the F2 Fisher metal detector that Legends Prospecting Supplies donated to us. We will also be voting in new board members along with all the regular fun we have. Don’t worry we won’t make you be president.

Come and see who the new officers will be. Please leave all tomatoes and fruit for throwing at home.

Ready to try a new place to meet? We will be meeting at the Temecula Community Center. The address is 28816 Pujol st. Temecula, CA. We will get there around 8am to start setting up and will have to be out of there by 12noon.

We should have a lot of fun. If you are new to prospecting this is the perfect place for you to come and talk with people who share the same interests. If you are more experienced please come and join us and share your knowledge.

Can’t wait to see you all there.

The meeting will be on July 11th and will start at 9am at 26201 Ynez Rd, Temecula, CA 92591. We will be there at 8am to start setting up. You are welcome anytime after that.

Due to the fact that I have been looking for a building,  I was  not able to get  a speaker for the meeting. If you would like to talk at the meeting please shoot me an email.

TVPHP will be packing up their stuff durring that week so I do not know if we will have enough tables and chairs.

Please bring a chair for yourself and an extra if you have one. Also of you have a folding table, please try to bring that. I am not sure we will need it, but I would rather have it and not need it; then need it and not have it.

Hope to see everyone there.

It is time for another meeting. Dont miss the good fun and comrodery.

Everyone is welcome. We will be meeting at the same place by Gold’s Gym. The address is 26201 Ynez Rd, Temecula, CA 92591. The meeting will start at 9am on June 13th. We will be there at 8am to start setting up. You are welcome anytime after that.

I don’t have a speaker lined up. If you are interested in speaking or know someone who is please let me know.

People Helping People will be selling a lot of stuff that day in a yard sale type setting. That way they don’t have to move as much in their move.  Bring some extra money and you might find some good stuff.

Hope to see you all there.
