UPCOMING for the NOVEMBER MEETING
Dean Calamaras will be our speaker for this meeting. Dean, a former member of our club, has recently moved back to the area and has agreed to share some of his experiences with us. He is an avid fossil collector who has found numerous fossils locally here in the Venice area and will have some on display for our viewing.
The fossil "show-off" tables will be set up at the back of the room so bring along your recent fossil finds to show off and discuss.
HIGHLIGHTS
from OCTOBER
The possibility of moving our meetings to the G.WIZ Science Museum in Sarasota was discussed and is being looked into. (Browsing the web, I see mention of a $100 fee, which doesn't sound encouraging.) Our luck, or lack there of, held when our scheduled speaker showed up at 7:10. With no speaker, the meeting had broken up early and almost everyone had already left.
