Things That Go Bump in the Gem Case! 👻

Tuesday, October 27 • 7:00 PM

Get ready for a little mystery, a little history, and perhaps a few chills at our October General Meeting!

Members and Visitors join us as Bill Kinney takes us on a fascinating journey through the world of Cursed Gemstones — gemstones that have earned a reputation for bringing bad luck, tragedy, or downright strange happenings to the people who owned them.

Are some gems really cursed? Or are the stories simply the result of coincidence, legend, and a little imagination? Come hear the stories behind some of the most notorious gemstones through the ages and decide for yourself… would you dare to own one?

Costumes Encouraged! (but not required)

Since we're exploring cursed gems and mysterious happenings, why not have a little fun with it? Come dressed in your favorite Halloween costume! Whether you're spooky, silly, glamorous, or completely outrageous, we'd love to see you in costume.

And there's more!

  • 2027 Officer Nominations – We'll present the list of nominees for our 2027 club officers.
  • Snacks & Fellowship – Because even a discussion about cursed gemstones is better with something to eat!
  • Silent Auction – Bring your bidding spirit and see what treasures you might take home.
  • Door Prize - You might be the lucky one to take home a real treasure (free).

So, mark your calendar, grab a costume, and join us for an evening of gems, legends, laughter, and a little bit of the supernatural!

But be careful what gemstone you bring home… you never know what might come with it!
