Membership Information

Welcome!

You are joining an organization whose purpose is to promote the earth sciences, paleontology, and the lapidary arts within our membership and the community.  As a member, you are able to participate in our many activities:
 

  • We meet monthly, on the second Thursday, at 7:00 pm at the Mousley Museum on the corner of Bryant and Panorama in Yucaipa. Our monthly meetings include an educational program, a business meeting, along with opportunity to win prizes, bid on minerals in our silent auction, and enjoy a light snack and friendly conversation.

 

  • You may also participate in our earth science field trips to local sites of interest and collecting areas and occasionally to locations requiring overnight stays.We hold field trips monthly, weather permitting.

 

  • Our lapidary shop is open to you on weekends and some weekdays where you can take part in many activities. You can cut, grind, and polish stones, as well as participate in silversmithing and casting to make fine finished jewelry. To help new  members learn the skills required for these projects, we also offer classes on an ad hoc basis.
