Northeast Georgia
Mineral Society
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 Robin at 706-754-0401, or info@negms.org.
