Welcome!

The Northeast Georgia Mineral Society (NEGMS) invites you to attend our monthly meeting, on the first Thursday of each month.

At each meeting, we have a presentation on a topic of interest, plus time to socialize and enjoy some refreshments. We also have a drawing at each meeting, where every ticket purchased lets you choose something from the drawing table (rocks, minerals, gems, books, magazine issues, etc). The drawing determines who gets first choice.

You are welcome to attend as a guest, or become a regular member.

Membership is $15 for individuals, $20 per family (annual). As a member you will receive our monthly newsletter, and you can attend any of our advertised field trips. You will also be able to attend field trips organized by the Dixie Mineral Council (DMC) Field Trip Sharing Program.

For more information, contact Claudia at 706-865-0988, or info@negms.org.

Meeting Schedule

2023

Date Topic Location
January 5
Thurs @ 6:30pm		 Cancelled!
Due to flooding at the Community Room, and short notice, the meeting is cancelled this month. The room will be closed for several months, but we are in the process of looking for a temporary location in the meantime.

Despite the cancelled meeting, several of us are still meeting for the traditional pre-meeting meal, and all are welcome to join us (pay your own way). We are meeting at Mickey Pigg's BBQ (next to Anderson Carpet on Hwy 23 / Hwy 365), starting at about 4:30pm.		 ---
