Hi Everyone
Well, our breakfast meeting turned out to be real fun.There were Sausage gravy and Biscuits, all kinds of fruit, juices, scrambled eggs, corned beef hash, sweet rolls and donuts..You really missed out on this meeting if you weren't there, it was a great way to start off the New Year.
The meeting was called to order by Richard Allen, Pres..Old and New business was attended to and then the meeting was turned over to Guest Speaker, George Litzenberg. George is a Field Rep for the GPAA, and is in Florida for a few months meeting with local chapters and helping with set-ups of meetings for new chapters..George told us that Natural Gold is found in 50 states, except Kentucky. Gold shows are big draws and real money makers. He also brought items for us to raffle off. A few pictures were taken of George with some of the members and the officers of our chapter.
There was also a guest from Mongolia who brought some pictures of the Gold he has taken from his claim there. Absolutely beautiful. He also had some very interesting things to offer about the gold being found there. We certainly hope he joins our chapter, and continues to bring pictures. He is going back to Mongolia sometime in February, and we wish him the best of luck in his prospecting.
Don't forget the "Cookie Cookoff" starts in February..Flavor for the month is Chocolate Chip..Cookies must be from a scratch recipe, (NO pre-mix, store bought or slice and bake from the dairy case). Frank will be the judge and the prize will be a gold nugget, so get out those long stored away recipes and let's have some fun.
Well, I guess that's about all for this month. Hope everyone has a great month, will see you Feb.8th, Warren Park at 9:00 a.m.

Hello Everyone
This months meeting turned out to be a lot of fun, although the weather was pretty cold.
Topics of discussion at this meeting were of some Outings to take place this year. Our first outing will be the Memorial Day weekend, as to where will be discussed at our March meeting.
Arizona with Steve in mid-april is still a go. For more information on this trip, contact Steve. Email is steve690@prodigy.net.
Another possible outing would be a weekend trip to Dahlonega, Ga. as a group to tour the Museum, and a visit to the Loud Mine. I understand that LDMA members stay free at the mine, and with a 3 day pass all GPAA members could stay free. Call Walt at GPAA for info about passes.
The newest addition to our monthly meetings came in with a bound. The Cookie Cookoff was a tastelovers delight. There were Raspberry Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate Chip, M & M Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip with Pecans, and Chocolate Chip with Macadamia Nuts. There was also a variation with Cayenne Pepper. ALL were well worth the time and tasting.
Winner of the Gold Nugget for this month's cookie was Richard Givens, Great job Richard.
Flavor of the Month for March will be Peanut Butter Cookies, please, NO variations.
There will be a POTLUCK LUNCH at our APRIL meeting, so everyone bring something.
Some Gold Nuggets were bought at the Gold Show in January, and will be being raffled off at our monthly meetings.
George Litzenberg brought some very interesting items to share. Some nuggets he found, empty jewelry bezzles for sale, nugget jewelry for sale, some South Dakota Gold from a Sioux Indian, a 23 penneyweight nugget from Australia, and a specimen from the Loud Mine. Also some gold from Wilson Creek in North Carolina.
After the meeting was adjourned, George gave a Metal Detector demo and some tips on detecting gold with a metal detector, using his own Fisher Gold Bug. Very interesting and educational. Thanks George!!!
Well, that's about all for this month. Hope everyone is having a great month, see ya in March.
