Gem and Mineral club to meet

The McPherson Gem and Mineral Club will hold its regularly scheduled monthly meeting at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 13. The meeting will be held at the McPherson Museum, 1111 E. Kansas Ave. in McPherson due to floor replacement being done at the usual meeting location (McPherson Senior Center).

Please come and join for refreshments and fellowship as we learn about fossils, minerals, rocks, lapidary and all areas of earth science. The October meeting will include a short “Rock of the Month” presentation by Alan Hedrich on Smoky Quartz. The featured monthly program will be given by Mark Heidebrecht on Sweet Water Agates. There will also be information on the upcoming field trips.
