At the Meeting

Ben had the birthday for the month. He also brought a yummy cake for all to enjoy.

Congratulations to Gerry for winning the monthly nugget.

Thank you to Karen for selling squares for the board drawing.

Thank you to the Snyder family for taking on the door prize responsibility.

There was discussion on which claims were going to get the game cameras. Hopefully, we will be able to stop some of the damage on the claims.

Dick suggested a winter activity would be to go to the museums and courthouse in Telluride and research some of the mining and claims history of the area.

Members Matt and Kim were recognized as having achieved member-in-good-standing status.
