VGMS Rockhound Rambling Wins First Place in CFMS and 5th in AFMS in the Large Bulletin Category for 2002.
We were very honored to be awarded first place in the 2002 CFMS Bulletin contest as well as 5th place in the AFMS Bulletin contest in the Large Bulletin Category. Thank you all for your contributions and support, as we would have nothing without you.
In addition to the bulletin we had three members who also won awards for articles they contributed. None of them knew I was going to enter their articles! There are guidelines for the judging in each category, which they weren't even aware of, so they did especially well. They are:
- Steve Mulqueen - 3rd place in the "Original Adult Articles Advanced" category for his article titled "The Twenty Mule Team". Steve does the EDUCATION CORNER for us each month along with other various articles and community outreach that he and Susan do. Steve has also done several programs for VGMS, which is what prompted his article. We are blessed to have Steve and Susan as members and friends. Congratulations Steve.
- Red Jioras - 2nd place in the "Original Adult Articles" category for his article titled "So, That's What an Agate Looks Like". Red and Nancy have moved to Eureka to be near their Grandson, so are no longer members of VGMS but still Rockhounds! It was good to see them at the CFMS/AFMS show. Congratulations Red.
- Aaron Base, Age 12 - 6th place in the "Original Junior Article" category for his article "Hellooo, It's Aaron". Aaron was one of our pebble pups last year. We will get his certificate and pin to him and hope that he keeps writing. The critique is a help. Congratulations Aaron.
Steve Mulqueen and I attended the Editor's breakfast at the CFMS/AFMS show where the awards were given. Again thank you for helping to make "Rockhound Rambling" an award winner! We all have to keep up the good work and go for 1st at AFMS next year!!!

List of all Rockhound Rambling Issues
which have been placed on this web site.
We invite you to browse our file of past club bulletins. This list includes all bulletins that have been published on this web site. When there is no link, that tells you that the important information from that bulletin has been transferred to the Archive section of the site and the bulletin itself has been removed. The links are to those that have not yet been archived. We add each current bulletin to the site as soon as possible after it's been published in print.
Something to keep in mind - The older each of these bulletins gets, the better the chance that some of the links to other sites and some of the e-mail addresses may not work. A few days, even minutes, might be too old sometimes. Some of them may have changed and others may simply have gone bye-bye (that's one of those technical terms). Knowing that, I am removing the "click-on" links to other sites and addresses in the older bulletins. These bulletins are designated by a "*" in their listing. If you wish you can still try these addresses by simply copying or typing them into your browser or your e-mail program but be aware that they may not work. Incidentally, for the best chance of having any address work, make sure you get it right (dot the I's and cross the T's, make sure you know if it's a zero or an O, capitalize when it's capitalized, etc., etc.).
No, I haven't forgotten the Archives.
