For Pasadena Lapidary Society’s July 2024 meeting, we celebrated our 75th Anniversary as a California non-profit corporation, having incorporated in 1949. Several past club presidents were in attendance, and current PLS president David Lacy presented a Commendation from the City of Pasadena in recognition of our anniversary.
A Silent Auction was held featuring a variety of mineral slabs, specimens, jewelry and lapidary related items, and members enjoyed an Ice Cream Social as part of the festivities.
member Ferdie Sanchez, was on display.
Leaves are tourmaline chips, trunk copper wire, and base is opalized petrified wood.
Display cases containing members’ jewelry creations and specimen collections were on display for attendees to check out, while a slide show provided a glimpse into the Club’s past and present activities: annual shows, field trips, workshops, and community outreach for STEM/STEAM students. What a great evening we had!
