Everyone is welcome to come attend a monthly meeting and bring your rocks of course! New members can sign-up for full memberships at any meetings, or join online.

Meeting Location: Trinity Episcopal Church, 440 Main Street, Shrewsbury, MA

The club generally meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 7 PM (except July and August) at Trinity Episcopal Church, Main Street, Shrewsbury. Trips to collecting sites, museums, and special events are planned throughout the year.

The meetings generally consist of a short business agenda followed by an educational or informative program. Programs presented may be speakers often with slides, specimens, or other visual aids, films, or demonstrations.

Speakers talk on a variety of topics and range from our own club members with experiences or expertise to share to prominent researchers that work in an Earth science field.   Children’s educational programs and activities are planned for meetings as interest arises. There are door prizes drawn at the meetings. Refreshments are available. In addition, everyone is encouraged to bring in specimens or their lapidary work to display to the members.

MEETING CANCELLATIONS: In the event we need to cancel a meeting due to weather conditions, we will send an email notification. You may also call one of the club officers if you are unsure about a meeting’s status.
