January 6th 1988 (AKA The rock club)




Today we started speeches.  I worked on so much of mine.

At the rock club we worked on silicates.  Then at the main meeting we learned how to make silver chains and once again i won the draw!  Eosophite.

Will it be easy to make my chain?


Notes:

The rock club meeting took place in a senior citizen's centre.  It might have been a home, I can't quite remember.

The kid's club went on for an hour, then the senior's would come in for their meeting.  Between the two, there was also a draw, with assorted prizes (mostly interesting minerals).  It was the main way I could add to my collection and always looked forward to it.

Sometimes, the seniors would work on a project.  If it was something kids could participate in, we could stay for it.  Once we did soapstone carving, and another time, we made wire tress with little stone leaves.  It was always a treat to get take part though I really don't remember making chains.
