Join us for our monthly general meeting. Members gather at 7:15 and the meeting will start at 7:30.
Andy Connally from the Kansas Geological Survey will be giving a talk on Fossils from this region of Kansas. He encourages everyone to bring in fossils from their collection to have them identified regardless of where they got them. Additionally, if anyone wants to donate their extra fossils, the KGS is building fossil teaching kits for schools which he will gladly take our extras to use in building up the kits. Andy is a wonderful speaker. Everyone should come, be sure to bring your fossils!
