About Us
Junior/Teen/Adult Rockhounds
The Junior Rockhounds, Teen Rockhounds, and Adult Rockhounds ("Greyhounds") are
groups of individuals interested in learning more about geology and the earth
sciences through something more than just the general meetings.
Previously we have held programs for these groups before the general meeting;
however it was difficult for people to get there early enough.
So instead, we are producing an educational newsletter called the "Rock Magnet".
While the newsletter is aimed towards the juniors and teens, adults can also learn from the information in the newsletter.
Below are a list of the "Rock Magnet" editions.
