******************** 

We will be meeting in person at Mulberry house for a "watch" meeting this month. That means you can join us online for the meeting and presentation OR you can come view the presentation with us in person! Please join us, whichever way you are comfortable with. We will give it a shot as we maneuver through what works best for our members.

November’s Program: 

“Colonial Carver John Zuricher and his Gravestones from the Hudson River Valley to Charleston, South Carolina” 

Presented by Prof. Sherene Barbara Baugher & Ethan Dickerman

June is a show-and-tell meeting.

 June is "a show-and-tell meeting. We do not have a speaker, unless one of our own wants to do one, short notice.

We can invite members to show:
1. An unusual artifact
2. A cool craft to do

These would provide us with some great and fun discussions.

IOCCNYSAA at the Gem and Mineral Show, Museum Village yesterday!

We met lots of interested adults and kids alike at the Orange County Mineral Society’s Rock / Fossil / Gem show. We sold a few hand-sewn felt sloths and mastodons (they are still available!), gave out lots of archaeological coloring pages/activities for kids, and handed out brochures to teens and adults about membership. We discussed “Harry” (the mastodon) a lot, due to chapter members’ work to preserve him, a display poster  former VP Gary Keeton made, and the ability to visit him right there at Museum Village!

We thank the OC Mineral Society for allowing us to be visible at this event, remind folks we are here, and meet some interested locals for the first time. We were even able to point some very interested out-of-area folks to their local NYSAA chapter.
