Because there have been so many inquiries lately for
junior activities it has been decided that this would be a good
time to begin a junior rockhound group. Each meeting will have
a short informative session on rocks, minerals and earth science
as well as a hands on activity for the children designed to help
them earn badges and patches that are similar to the boy and girl
scouts programs. The meetings will be hosted by several club members
on a variety of subjects. Ginger Irwin has volunteered to teach
sand painting, Anna Christiansen will teach how to make a wire
wrapped ring and we hope to have a session on meteorites also.
Meetings will be open to children from first grade through age
18. Additional information will be in the next Ghost Sheet. Please
be sure to let your family and friends know about the Junior Rochkhoud
Club so that they will have plenty of time to get it on their
calendar.
If you enjoy working with children
and would like to present or assist one of the prepared sessions
or if you have a topic or craft idea of your own that you would
like to introduce at a meeting, please contact Terry McMillin
