Editor's Note
Looks like it's time for me to get back on my soapbox. This is the May issue
and only a couple of members have contributed written material to our newsletter. That's right, I said OUR newsletter. Articles, pictures (captioned
please) poems, stories, anecdotes of your experiences, even jokes are all welcome.
Please, I know some of you are busy but it only takes a few minutes. Others of you
may think that you can't write well enough.
Well, the best advice I can give you is to write it down exactly as you would
tell it to a friend. Trust me, it works. Also, those or you with kids in the club,
please encourage them to write something for the newsletter. It is good experience and they get the thrill of seeing their material in print.

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.
