Here is complete information on upcoming events:
Flagg Gem and Mineral Show
The Flagg Show is January 5, 6, and 7, 2007 at Mesa Community College, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This is The Foundation's Big Event of the year. It is located in the parking lot on Dobson Road just north of the Superstition Freeway (Route 60).
Free Parking and Free Admission.
We need everyone to help by telling your friends, groups that you belong to, and anyone else who might be interested about the show.
A good way to tell people about the Flagg show is to have them check out the new website: www.flaggshow.info where they will find all the information on location, directions, times, and activities.
We need people to help with the show setup, with the sales, with sample give away for children, and to clean up.
At the Flagg Show we give away many hundreds of specimens to kids (the future of our hobby) and teachers and our supplies are always depleted. We need good small specimens that we can give away, things that a kid would think are exciting.
We also need better specimens, lapidary material, and lapidary equipment that we can sell at the show.
Your donations are tax deductible. You can bring material to the Foundation's meetings or to the Flagg Show, or you can contact a Foundation officer and we will come get your donations.

First Fridays at the Museum
The Museum will be open from 6 PM to 10 PM on the first Friday of each month from January to May 2007. The Foundation will have members present so that the Flagg Mineral Gallery can be open.
This would be a good opportunity to come to the Museum look at the exhibits and spend some time looking at the Foundation collection.
Next First Friday date will be January 5, 2007.
Prospectors Day at the Museum
Prospectors Day will be February 17, 2007 from 10 AM to 4 PM at the Museum. Parking and Admission are free and there will be many special
activities including gold panning, metal detecting, jewelry making, activities for children, and demonstrations. The activities for children are free and will include making jewelry, pet rocks, fossil rubbings, or a refrigerator magnet. Demonstrators will be showing how to facet, do inlay, grind and polish rocks, and carve.
The Arizona Prospectors will demonstrate gold processing equipment and have gold panning and metal detecting for which there will be a slight charge (but guaranteed gold or treasure). You can also bring unknown minerals and rocks to the museum for identification. The Maricopa Lapidary Society will have dealers in the mezzanine. There are still some dealer spaces available. call 602-255-3795 Ext. 10 for more information.
