CLUB PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

I'd like to extend a warm welcome to everyone who came to our 2007 show, and anyone planning to attend our 2008 show.  We are very proud of our show as it gives the Club a chance to share our enthusiasm for rocks and minerals, gems and jewelry, fossils and the earth sciences with everyone in the Conejo Valley community.

The Pageant of a Thousand Gems is a great opportunity to learn more about Conejo Gem and Mineral (CGM) Club activities and membership.  A staff member at the entrance Information Table will be happy to answer any question you might have, and can provide a club membership application form to anyone who would like to join the CGM.

We urge you to bring a friend or family member so everyone can enjoy the show and share with us in the pleasure of this fascinating pursuit.

SHOW CHAIRMAN REPORT - It's almost showtime!

The 2008 show is on it's way, there is much that will be need to be done. Club Members - please volunteer to work a couple of 2-hour shifts, and don't forget to wear your nametags to the show.  It's our show and it's the members that make it the best. Whether your a new member or long time member there is something for everyone.

We would appreciate help from anyone who wants to donate plants, rock material for the silent auction, gem/rock/mineral jars, or the grab bags, or anyone who likes to sew and wants to make the actual bags.  Every Club Member should help advertise the show by distributing flyers in  their neighborhood, at work, and anywhere you can leave them legally like libraries, public buildings, etc.

The more help we get the merrier, and all your help is much appreciated.  We always have a great show because we get the best and most enthusiastic volunteers.  Sign up for a 2-hour shift in any area. You can get to know other members and make friends.
