THANKS
TO ALL WHO HELPED WITH THE FOOD AT OUR ALL GOLD MEETING IN NOVEMBER. IT WAS GREAT.
We will
have Chili to eat, so bring some side dishes, and your favorite desserts. The Chapter will provide the Chili and you
can provide the drinks (non-alcoholic).
As we
finish last minute preparations for the holidays and the end of the year, I
can’t help but think of our meeting in November and all the stories of everyone’s
trips and hunting for gold adventures. I
will be ready for our meeting to start back up in January, even if it is not an
official meeting I am ready to see everyone and see their new prospecting toys
they received for Christmas. Bring them
and any cons you would like to work; we can play with them together. Also bring any of your gold related items you
want to sell.

Sharon Foster came thru her other knee surgery just fine and is on the road to recovery.
Sharon Meyer lost her father in November 2011. We are so sorry for your loss. Prayers are for you and your family in this sad time.
There is a new chapter in Kansas. Down by Wichita. There meeting will be January 21, 2012 at 4 p.m. Call Randy Don Carlos for more info.
Final thought: As the year draws to an end, we must not forget the families who can not be together at this time and say a prayer for them. I am so blessed to have so many good friends and my family together for the holidays. May the New Year bring everyone good health and a pan full of gold.
