As we prepare for the 2026 Spring Show there are a few things we would like for our members to consider donating to the show.     

• GRAB BAG ROCKS - Each year we sell about 200 grab bags at $2.00 a piece at our Spring Show. Each bag is filled with 5-10 rocks of various sizes and descriptions. The rocks can be fossils, tumbled stone, crystals: rocks kids would be excited to find but nothing expensive. If you have anything you would like to donate that we could use in the grab bags, please bring them to the club during one of our meetings or email us and we will arrange to pick them up.
• SILENT AUCTION or DOOR PRIZES - during the show there are 14 door prize drawings. We also conduct 29 silent auctions with multiple items per auction. This requires a lot of nicer items to be given away or bid on. We use rocks, minerals, fossils, slabs, cabochons, beads, finished jewelry pieces, rock or lapidary related books – almost anything rock or lapidary related. Any item should be labeled as to what it is and, if possible, given a suggested starting bid price. These items can also be brought to one of the general meetings oremail us and we will arrange to pick up the items.

The Spring Show brings in approximately 70% of our total budgeted spend during the year, so having a successful show is critical. Please consider donating. Your club will benefit and you will too. Thank you for your donations.
