Welcome to March Everyone,
The first and most important item is the second call for our upcoming election; this year it is for the offices of President and Treasurer to be held at the April meeting. Nominations are open and if you are interested in throwing your hat into the ring, please let one of our nominating committee members know. They are Sue Connor, Mary Troseth, and Leslie Laveroni. To date nobody has entered and JerryG has indicated he is willing to continue at the Treasurer’s position.
Next item, February’s outing. Due to the Quartzsite Metal Detecting Club not holding their seeded hunts on the same weekend as the shows, I was not able to attend the show or the hunt. I had left it up to you whether to attend either, or, none, or both.
Just when things were getting better on the Freedom claims complex, another rainstorm came in and dropped like .75″ of rain. The dirt was just at the point it was going through the drywashers and now we are back to square one where it will be several weeks to get back to where we were. Peggy had filled the major ruts up the hill of RM 26 and I have not heard, as yet, what it looks like after the new rain. Hopefully, we are close to the end of the rainy season and some nice dry dirt.
Lastly;
The prices of Gold and Silver continue to seesaw up and down with the big investment houses calling for mid $6,000 by the end of the year, but who knows.
This month’s joint chapters trip is to the Old Good Hope Mine as a day trip on Saturday March 21st.
Also, a reminder, the scammers are hard at work and for the fifth month in a row WE DO NOT REQUEST ANY ASSISTANCE FROM THE MEMBERS IN PAYING ANY OF THE ASSOCIATION BILLS OR VENDORS.
That’s about it for now.
See you at the meeting or outings.
Jerryk
