SUTTER BUTTES GEM & MINERAL SOCIETY

You are invited to attend meetings of the Sutter Buttes Gem & Mineral Society at Mary Covillaud School, 629 F Street, Marysville CA. We meet on the fourth Thursday of each month at 7:30 PM, except for November when the meeting is held the second Thursday. Our July meeting is generally a picnic held in a local park. In December we have an informal meeting at a local restaurant for our Installation Dinner. The meetings are open to the public and guests are welcome. We hold our annual show at the Yuba-Sutter Fairgrounds in November. At our educational meetings we have speakers, demonstrators, videos and rock auctions. We have a junior group and they have a project of their own to work on during the meeting. We have also hosted Scout groups for fun and to work on their badge requirements.  Our Field Trip leader schedules field trips and we are also a member of the CO-OP, which lists their field trips in one central place for every club member to participate in. The club provides members with a monthly newsletter.

The Sutter Buttes Gem & Mineral Society was formed in 1990.  Our purpose is to educate ourselves and the public, and to enjoy a hobby of collecting rocks, fossils and minerals.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT OUR NEXT MEETING.
