NEW BUSINESS:
We are tentatively planning a weekend in April for Lucky Strike. Once a date is firmly established, O. C. of G.P.A.A. requests $100.00 deposit per participant for this weekend. This year, there will be no refunds for cancellations due to accurate counts. It was brought up that there are several cabins to rent at Thermal City down the road. Chris asked for a new cook, and Steve has the stoves and grills. Can you help??
Hopefully, we can do another fossil hunting trip to Peace River in March.
Again, we hope to metal detect at low tide sometime in February. We can invite another chapter to go with us, and suggestions were made for New Smyrna Beach or Laurie Wilson park.
Deb asked about the LDMA and GPAA outings or staying at camps. As a GPAA member, you can be a guest of an LDMA member once a year.
The next meeting will be February 13 AND IT WILL BE A POTLUCK!
The raffle for the gold concentrate bag was held and Pat, as you can see below, was one happy winner.
PotLuck February 13!
