Chairman's Letter
By Ray Grant

     The 2005 Flagg Show was a great success. The weather turned out fine in spite of the dire predictions made the week before the show.

     We had more help from members then at any other show. All of the following helped with the show - publicity, transport material, set up, clean up, sales, exhibits, and food: Liz Anderson, Kelly Iverson, Hilde Zahn, Genie Howell, Jack Howell, Steve Decker, Harvey Jong, Lavone Archer, Darrel Dodd, Kim Johnson, Jeff Johnson, Bill Yedowitz, Dana Slaughter, Brenda Slaughter, Kathleen Richardson, Allison Richardson, Erica Richardson, Phil Richardson, Steve Trussell, Cynthia Grant, Tony Occuzzi, Dick Zimmerman, and John Weide. I want to thank this great group for all of their help.

     Donn Cuson, because of a change in his work, will not be able to be the chair of the collection committee. We appreciate all the work that he has put into the collection committee and wish him well and hope to see him back here in the future. Bill Yedowitz has agreed to be the new chair of the collection committee. Come to the Museum on the fourth Tuesday of the month to join this active committee. We have lots of work to do on our collection and the excess material we have from donations.


    Our next event is the Minerals of Arizona Symposium on Saturday April 16. See the program in this newsletter and plan to attend. Registration closes on April 8. We have a great line up of speakers and we are still hoping for a field trip on Sunday. Anyone who registers will get information by mail about the field trip.

Reminder:
     If you would like to be sure to be notified of last minute field trips or other activities, you should get you name on the Foundation Email List.

with a friendly greeting and request to be included in the fun!
