February Meeting & BYOR Raffle

Our January meeting didn’t happen as planned, but February brings a fresh chance to connect with fellow rock enthusiasts. This month’s gathering promises lively conversations, travel planning for upcoming rock hunting trips, engaging guest speakers, and a fun raffle. Remember to bring your own rocks (BYOR) for the raffle since the club will not provide any. This event is a great opportunity to share your passion, learn new things, and maybe even take home a unique specimen.

How to Prepare for the BYOR Raffle


The raffle is a highlight of the meeting, but it depends entirely on members bringing their own rocks. Here are some tips to get ready:


  • Select unique or interesting specimens from your collection. Think about rocks that others might find intriguing or beautiful.

  • Label your rocks if possible, with any information you have about their origin or type. This adds value and sparks conversation.

  • Bring enough rocks if you want to increase your chances of winning something in return.

  • Handle your rocks carefully during transport to avoid damage.


This approach encourages sharing and learning, making the raffle more exciting for everyone.
