MEMBERSHIP & RENEWAL

Welcome to the Parksville and District Rock and Gem Club (PDRGC) and Membership Benefits

We hope you in becoming a member you will enjoy participating in activities such as Rock Hounding Field Trips, Lapidary Crafting Shop, Annual Rock Show, Community Events etc.

This is How Our Club Works

Our general meetings are first Tuesday September through November and January through May, plus December Christmas Dinner and June Picnic and Auction. Our website is https://pdrockandgem.org.  Find our Activity Schedule and Sign Up on Google Docs. Access it first time through our website, Member’s page.

We are a club of volunteers. The members are the doers and the owners. From our membership we elect in November, an executive (president, vice president, secretary and treasurer). Volunteers fill the activity chairs such as membership, Feld trips, a fully stocked and equipped  Lapidary Shop including training courses for learning how to run the machinery, programs, annual show, online presence, community events, etc. As a group they help plan and organize our activities and finances with our involvement. We encourage new members to get involved, ask questions and help us make things work and have fun.

The Executive and chairs hold a business meeting a week before the general meeting. Any club member is welcome at these meetings as well. Any items involving a significant change or financial outlay are discussed here and brought to the membership at large at the general meeting for discussion and vote. Financial Statements are available on our website members section. We want all our affairs to be visible to all members.

Membership is renewed annually by the first meeting of the year (1st Tuesday in January) and valid from January 1st until December 31st.
