The first Thursday of the month is a busy time for all members of The Villages Gem and Mineral Society with something for each and every person. See you there!
Jewelry Making Special Interest Group 6-7:30pm
Our first SIG class will be held on Feb 23 and it will be on Free Form Wire Wrapping, so you won’t be able to “finish up” a project, but Nancy and Susan will be there on the 2nd if anyone wants to start their project!
We will meet for 1-1/2 hours in the Crescent Beach Room and clean up and then head over to the craft room for the business meeting.
Short Workshop 5-7pm
As usual, prior to the business meeting the craft room will be open for us to work on our stones for 2 hours.
5:30-7pm New members session in the Crescent Beach Room
This is a Welcoming session and registration for our newest members.
7:30-8:50pm Business Meeting
Please download a copy of the minutes of the January Meeting and the agenda for Thursday’s meeting.
BTW: If you want to see past minutes or an agenda from any meeting in the last year, you can see them on the business documents page.

Raffle & Other Goodies!
This month we have an auction for a week’s lapidary arts course–please be sure to read the agenda and the email from Greg for more details. Thanks to Tom for this donation.
Last, but not least, we always close out the monthly business meeting with a raffle–and there are always some great goodies so don’t cut out early or you will lose out.
