Reviews
"The website looks great. It tells visitors to the site about the club, and has pictures and descriptions for their meetings and guest speakers for the entire year. The club is very active and the meetings are well attended by members with a wide range of interests and knowledge that they are willing to share. Great place for beginners to learn, and more experienced rock hounds to learn more."
"This web site is easy to navigate and helpful to know when the club meets and clearly describes their meeting agendas"
"Clackamette Mineral & Gem (CMGC) rock club is a place to meet friendly, knowledgeable people of all ages, who enjoy all aspects of rocks, minerals and geology. CMGC members volunteer to share their talents including identification, cutting, polishing, tumbling, sphere making, cabochon making, wire wrapping, faceting, bead making, silversmithing, gold panning and rock equipment. Club meetings include guest speakers, silent auctions, rock and mineral identification and of course treats. The CMGC junior program has fun planned activities with an energetic leader. Guests at the club meetings receives a free rock. Outside activities include field trips, classes and preparation for the club’s annual rock show in October at the Canby Fairgrounds. Nita W"
"Thanks for such a complete and colorful webpage. Your webpage provides an ideal format for bringing together all of the Oregon City (and beyond) rock hounds at the Clackamette Mineral & Gem Club monthly meetings."
"I really enjoyed this group. They were very welcoming and I could really see that the members enjoyed their hobby. I found them to be very helpful answering my questions. Families with children are more than welcome as they put on a juniors program for the kids. I particularly enjoyed the program about jewelry that the club shared. Several members brought in pieces and talked about how they acquired there treasures. In many cases the members had found the rocks or gems and fashioned them into the piece of jewelry with their own skills. Each month they have a new program that covers everything from fossils to beach agates. Weather permitting they have field trips where members can go out and find collectable rocks and minerals. If you are interested in rock collecting or anything lapidary I highly recommend giving this group a visit."
