Congratulations to new members, Mary and Paul Velotta, winners of the 3" inch complete dredge package at the monthly north end meeting. Mary and Paul, have been married 62 years! That's another thing to congratulate them for! Paul called his lovely wife his lucky charm last night and I would agree!

Thank you all 70 + folks that came and joined in our meeting last night. As usual, a fun and informative meeting and lots of goodies given away.

It was my 1st meeting and I had a great time. I had met Paul at an outing to Olney a couple of Saturdays ago. I was impressed with his enthusiasm and spirit then and could not be happier to see he and his wife Mary win the dredge. Well, only happier if I had won it LOL. looking forward to the Saturday deal at Olney. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to put on the meeting.

I have been connected with GPAA for many years but have not been able to partisipate in Gold Prospecting very much due to the need to travel for my work and also attended other clubs meetings. I have only been a member of the prospectors Plus club since the Puyallup Gold Show and not only because my wife did win the beautiful dredge, so now maybe she will get gold fever like me, but because of the friendlieness of everyone I have met in this clubs gatherings do

Sorry I pushed the wrong button and didn't finish wanted to add. I believe this is the best club in the whole country from our Club president to the newest member. I will continue to try to encourage other to join us. Mary and I enjoyed the evening even before I yelled BINGO for her, we were both excited and now she claims she is going to charge me rent to use the DREDGE. Such is life in your old age and we enjoy it.

Thanks to all

Glad you won the dredge and you're right about the club. I've been prospecting since the early '70's and have been involved in quite a few clubs and there isn't any comparison. This club, the people, the way it's run, the equipment they sell, and the wealth of free information available is so far above any club I've been involved in that I can't give enough praise to the management. Thanks to all. Doug.
