cabochon – Dallas Gem and Mineral Society

Come join us Tuesday September 17, 2019 at 7 pm for our monthly meeting!

Dallas Gem And Mineral Society - Monthly Meeting

Special Presentation:

We will be having a Silent Auction instead of a presentation. Bring your cash or credit card so you don’t miss out on any of the treasures that will be on the auction table!

Our annual elections for the DGMS Board are fast approaching.
If you have an interest in a Board position or you would like to nominate someone for a position, this is the time to do so as the club will be taking nominations this month and Oct, with the final votes happening in November.

If you would like to try your hand at the cabochon making contest,
bring $5 to the meeting to purchase your piece of LLanite. More details will be given out at the meeting.

Dont forget to sign up for a volunteer spot for our Annual Show that is held in Nov. The list is on the cork board in the shop.

Oh Man, our shop is looking FANTASTIC!

Thanks to Norm, Joy, and the DGMS Army of Volunteers our shop is getting a much needed cleanup and makeover! They have been working long and hard to clean up and fix the machines, which is awesome because the shop is as busy as ever!

If you aren’t familiar with the Dallas Gem and Mineral Society’s workshop, we’d like to share what we have to offer. As a paid member (that has completed the Qualifying Class) you have access to all of the machines PLUS the communal knowledge of the crew that is always hanging around the shop. Gotta question, just ask, we are always willing to talk your ear off about rocks!!

Our Shop includes:

7 Genies for all of your cabochon shaping needs

2 Grinders, a Flat Lap, & a Dop Station!

5 – 12″ Slab Saws
4 – 18″ Slab Saws
2 – 24″ Slab Saws
3 Trim Saws!

And the newest addition to the Shop is this fancy new Keurig Machine!!!
Soda is available too! And don’t forget to leave a donation so we can keep the kitchen stocked with all your beverage needs!

As much as the DGMS Army has already gotten done, we are always looking to improve and maintain… with that said…. (so exciting)….

The shop will be replacing some of the 12 inch saws with new ones!!!
To fund this big expense the club will auction 3 nice specimens at the monthly meetings. Proceeds from our June 1st Rock Swap will also go towards the cost of the saws. Donations are always accepted at the shop and the monthly meeting.
HELP US HELP YOU!

So be sure to stop by the meeting which is next Tuesday, May 21st! A presentation on the New Geology Timeline will be given by Diane Brownly. As always, bring a dish to share if you can.
