Text Box:              I am sorry to say I am not going to be at the May meeting because I am going to Thermal City gold mine for vacation so Kurt has the show to run. 
Soon the club is going to start to sell prospecting hats, club logo buttons, and gold nuggets. Our Wisconsin outing is only a couple months away. 
Don’t forget to mark on your calendars for June 17th for the Nugget Lake Outing.  You never know what you can find in your pan. 
             So far we have 14 people going to Thermal City Gold Mine in August and I would like to see 20 members at that dig.  So let me know if you would like to join in the prospecting fun.  I will have a few dredges down there and will teach members how to dredge. 
             The Club will be holding an outing to Chicken, Alaska in 2007.  There will be more 
Text Box: information later about this trip.          
             We have over 280 members and would like to get most of the members to come to the outings/meetings/gold shows. The more the participation the better it helps the club in the future for prospecting. 
             Each month now is Pot Luck, so please plan on bringing a dish to pass.  
             “Thank You” to everyone for joining the chapter and for your support to make this club a success!!.   
             I can’t wait to go prospecting.
Thank you, Mike Flint.
