August 15 Program Meeting, 7:00 pm

Our Tuesday, August 15 program meeting will include a presentation by several junior members who were participants (and winners) in award competitions related to our rockhounding and lapidary hobbies. (We love how our young members inspire other kids to follow suit.)

This program meeting will also include a slide presentation related to our upcoming annual gem and mineral show, presented by PLS member Marcia Goetz.

Doors open at 6:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall at the Santa Anita Church located at 226 West Colorado Boulevard in Arcadia, CA 91007. Program starts at 7:00 pm. Free; open to the public. Enjoy refreshments while checking out the display table; bring a rock specimen you’d like identified. Come join us and see what we’re all about!

PLS Booth at Barnhart School Carnival in Arcadia – Saturday, October 22, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Bring the kids to the Barnhart School Carnival this Saturday, have some fun with the carnival games, enjoy food and drinks, check out the vendors, and stop by the Pasadena Lapidary Society booth while you’re at it.

We’ll be featuring do-it-yourself ‘My Rock Collection’ kits. Youngsters (and adults as well) can choose from an assortment of mineral specimens that we’ll have on hand and compile their own kits. This makes a fun first step toward a future interest in rock collecting as a hobby and/or Earth Sciences as a vocation. These rock collection kits were a huge hit at our August gem and mineral show this year.

The Carnival will take place on the Barnhart School property at 240 West Colorado Boulevard in Arcadia. CA 91007. barnhartschool.org
