KIDS DAY!
Please come and help us out on Kids Day, Saturday, July 19th
We need people to show up by 7:30am. Kids day starts at 9am, with registration starting at 8:30.

We have no way of knowing what kind of turn out we will have, but from the response I have been hearing at the store, it should be the biggest turnout in several years.

Please come help teach kids to pan, sluice, highbank, dredge, etc. It should be a great day of fun and excitement for them. We will have food and drinks available.
All the kids will get a vial with some gold in it at the end of the day.
Also, we will have a raffle with some nice prizes, for the kids and the adults.

The chapter is looking to buy 3 grams of flakes so we can get some vials filled before kids day.
If you have some that you can sell, please contact Tim LeGrand at the prospecting store, Weds through Sun.

It should be a great time to introduce even more new folks to the fun of prospecting.
Please come out and support the club, and help the kids.
