MAY 03
Hi Y'all,
Our May Meeting on May 10th was a Breakfast Meeting, and boy, was it great. There were Biscuits and Egg/Cheese Gravy, Scrambled Eggs with a ton of cheese, Corned Beef Hash, Grits, (2) Fruit Salads, Sausage/Hashbrown/Egg casserole, and plenty of good ole? Florida Orange Juice.
After breakfast, our meeting was called to order and the Treasurer's report and last months minutes were read. New business this month was attended to.
On June 14th, the South Fla. Gold Coast Chapter will have a Treasure Hunt with lots of great prizes. Entry is $35.00 and will include lunch. Grand Prize is either a Garret or Fisher Metal Detector. Check out their website for further information.
The Carolina Emerald Mine (Marion County GPAA) donated a chunk of Amethyst with a Gold Figure on it to us for our raffle this month. We voted to donate one of our Gold Nuggets to them in appreciation. This is the place we will be going after the Gold Show in October for a short outing. Check this place out if you get a chance, GPAA members get a discount, and Groups get a better discount.
The MEMORIAL DAY OUTING will be in Buchanan, Ga. on May 24th and 25th. We will be staying at the Farm. Please try to attend, it's always fun.
It's time once again for the Election of Officers for our club. Nominations will be at our June meeting, and elections will be at our July meeting.
The Raffle this month yielded some neat items, GPAA Cup, a bag of HIGH GRADE ORE, GPAA BOONIE CAP, PROSPECTOR PIN, SCOOP and a CHUNK OF AMETHYST W/ GOLD PROSPECTOR FIGURE. The GOLD NUGGET RAFFLE was won by Randy and was a nugget in excess of 4 grms. NICE!!!!!!!
This month was the last of the COOKIE COOKOFF'S and ended in a tie. Richard Givens and Steve Martin were the winners.
We would like to Thank everyone who brought in all the breakfast goodies this month, great job.
Hope everyone has a great month and hope to see y'all in Buchanan over Memorial Day.
