Tonight the
San Luis Obispo Gem & Mineral Club held its monthly meeting in SLO-Town.
I took some photos of those in attendance to give the outside world a view into our little world in hopes more folks interested in rocks, gems, minerals, fossils, and lapidary art will come visit us and perhaps even join us as we are a small, but warm and friendly bunch with a passion for rocks.
At each meeting we hold a Find of the Month Contest and everybody shows their best find of the past month and the members vote on which one was the most impressive. Needless to say, I'm too modest to say who won tonight.

| Club president Noah Doughty showing off
his two most recent finds: black jade from the Big Sur Coast and
petrified whale bone from Hazard Canyon of which the jade he entered
into the Find of the Month Contest. |

| George "Hib" Moore, past club president Bob Hurless, Melcena Brixley and Sandie Hurless at the rockhound round table discussing vitally important matters, to wit, rocks. |
 |
| A
contented Dianna Deem (show dealer chair) immediately following her
impromptu post-work shift dinner of the club meeting snacks and, yes,
she will kill me for posting this photo and explaining its context. |
 |
| Helen Whigham and club secretary Lynette Bayless up to no good as usual. |
 |
| Mike Shipsey showing off his Ant Hill petrified marine mammal bone finds. |
 |
| Dan Manion (club newsletter) and club treasurer Mike Sheffer trying to look innocent. |
 |
| Like I said, I'm not one to brag...about
the fact my Ant Hill Shark Teeth collected last month won Find of the
Month for May, 2009. |

Loved it! I felt like I was there with you all... but hey, aren't you taking chances walking around with revealing your true identity.... Clark Kent would be aghast. ;-)
