I wanted to take this opportunity to pass along some thoughts about club activities and events this past year. It’s been quite an eventful and successful one for the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had a record setting attendance and revenue at the March show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We held an awesome auction bringing in some big dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A terrific bus trip to Chilliwack to attend the BCLS show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A great strawberry social attended by many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An excellent fall show that surpassed all expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Programs that were interesting, captivating and educational..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Field trips that were so well attended that they would have filled a Greyhound bus (with people and rocks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A huge backlog of lapidary courses was cleared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to thank all of our members who organized and coordinated events and also those who so generously gave up their time and volunteered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this note, just like in Jose Feliciano’ song, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
