January 9, 2021

Meeting began at 2:07p.m. with the pledge of allegiance led by Ed Kubu.

A motion to approve the November minutes by Deb Strickland was seconded by Jim Hudspeth and passed.

Deb gave the treasurer report after handing hard copies to the officers. Our Christmas auction brought in $306.00 and Faith Farley made the motion to give it to Pat Tibbs for her granddaughter, Skylar, with Darci Rainey making the second. It passed. 

OLD Business:

Darrell had no update on the case for the Victor museum. He has the case but it needs a piece of glass ordered, which he will do. He sent an email to Ken Zahn about the NFMS Directory still showing personal information to the public. Now that Ken isn't the NFMS president, Darrell is hoping he might help get it changed.

Deb discussed the Annual Show scheduled for May 14thand 15th. We have eight members plus Jop G. who stated he will be a vendor. Deb will get with Darci and see when a meeting can be scheduled to begin the process for the show. It will be announced to everyone via email.

NEW Business:

Darrell will remain be the NFMS Director due to 2020 being shut down. He'll continue his post in 2021 in NFMS Rules & Awards also. 

AMFS has a Big Piny, WY Rocky Mountain Federation Show in June. Doug True will be taking field trips to the Blue Forest and to the Fossil dig during the show. 

Ed ask for volunteers for a Greeter. 

Betty will continue Hospitality/Kitchen.

Jim Hudspeth will continue field trips and is now working on our Website.

Mark will continue the Juniors Club. 

Faith read a note from Ken & Pam Chulick due to having sinus issue and not sure if it's Covid: 

Dear rock club members, hope all of you had a happy holiday and that they were blessed. Let's make this a good new year.

I would like to report on our Christmas potluck. It was a great time. There were about 20 of us there. We had a wonderful meal, lots of desserts and many laughs. Stories were told by all. 

The auction was fantastic and we agreed it was for Skylar. 

I am looking forward to rockhounding this summer.

See you all next meeting,

Vice Pres.

Pam Chulick.

Mark Harris won the Gem Scoop brought in that was for our Christmas potluck.

A Rock Hammer will be at the next meeting.

Katelyn Lester won half of the 50/50 of $32. 

Deb made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 2:37p.m. with Jim making the second. Passed.
