May Rock News
Our May program will be on wood carving by Larry Smith. Let's make this a really fun wood related sharing meeting. Bring
your favorite petrified wood, in every form, even made into jewelry. Also any wooden jewelry or wooden enhanced beading or
other gemstone jewelry, let's all share and learn.
Time remains to sign up for the August, September, and October lapidary workshops. Check your calendar, and see if you
can manage to treat yourself a week of learning, fellowship and relaxation at either William Holland or Wildacres. Many ROCK
members are attending the August session of Wildacres. Why not join them?
Our Club Show is the end of September. Anyone wanting to have assistance in planning and pulling together a professional
static display, or needing use of a showcase should call Alice Bradshaw
at 859 299 5671. Information on showmanship and competitive exhibiting will be shared gladly!
Many interesting rock shows are being held in surrounding areas this year. Check the show news portion of this newsletter,
and plan to attend all those that interest you. And to make the gas prices
less, invite friends to ride along and share the day and gas expenses with you!
If you don't have a name badge that you like to wear at club meetings, go ahead and make yourself one now, and put it
into your vehicle so you will have it to wear at meetings, and so you will be able to have a chance at winning stone prizes
during the name badge drawing at our May meeting.
Bring a friend whom you believe will enjoy our May program. It promises to be most interesting!

American Federation of Mineralogical Societies Future Rockhounds of America Merit Badge Program
This is the perfect time of year to save those stamps. Bring good used stamps to the next meeting by the bucket load!
These stamps are sent in to the Southeast Federation of Mineralogical Societies, of which your ROCK club is a member. The
SFMS sells used stamps to stamp collectors. Most used postage stamps have some resale value to collectors. 100% of the proceeds
from the sale of the stamps go toward scholarships to attend Federation Workshops at William Holland or Wildacres. A drawing
is held at the annual meeting of the SFMS to award the scholarships. The number of scholarships awarded each year depends
on the amount of money earned from the sale of the stamps.
