We will have a display in the Grand Glaize library in Jan and Claudia and Eleanor will set this up. We will also have a display in the new Sachs library in Feb. The club fliers need to have the meeting date changed to Thurs. for next year. Field Trip: Andy reported on the trip to get geodes north of Hannibal. Six from our club went. Ken shared about this too and said that he would be going again on Sunday if anyone was interested. He has been busy cutting geodes and has quite a collection.

Five members went to the St. Louis Gem and Mineral Show , 11/8-10. Telephone : Joyce Erard reported that she had called everyone for the geode trip.
