TGMS Membership Benefits and Programs
As a club member, you’ll receive the following benefits:

- Access to club-owned equipment for lapidary work (weather permitting). A small additional fee may be asked for to provide for equipment maintenance and upkeep.
- Our club newsletter, The Glacial Drifter, full of interesting articles and valuable information.
- Junior members can participate in the AFMS Junior Rockhounds program, a series of classes and activities geared to teaching youngsters about various aspects of geoscience and lapidary arts. (For more information, check out the “Future Rockhounds” link in the menu.)
In addition, Society members can vote at meetings and run for office.
