Meetings

Our meetings are fun, interactive and educational. A place to gather to hear from geologists, college professors and our very own rockhounds who have stories and treasures to share.

So much is learned at our meetings! Please come! We welcome new visitors who become lifelong friends!

Our monthly meetings are open to the public, but we encourage you to join the club in order to receive additional benefits including field trips, our monthly newsletter, our Annual Rock & Mineral show,  our Annual Holiday Party and mineral auction. 

Join Us for our Virtual Mineral Meeting. Our guest speaker will be Scott Braley and his presentation on The Red Cloud mine. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, our meeting place in Chester, NY remains closed. This will be a virtual meeting online.

6:30 pm OCMS Business Meeting
The presentation will follow the business meeting
