First Tuesday's Class

Every month, CCGMS offers a free class to its members. These classes vary with a different topic each month. All have to do with the mission of CCGMS, which is bringing the study of rocks, minerals, gemstones, fossils, and the lapidary arts to the community. It is our hope that these classes will spark the creativity of the students and bring about further study.

 Tuesday, March 3rd – 6:45 PM to 9:00PM

Host: Karen Green

RESERVATIONS REQUIRED – Maximum 15
