Kitchener-Waterloo Rockhound/ Lapidary Club Auction

While it’s not exactly a show, readers of this list might be interested
in our Kitchener-Waterloo Club Live Auction:

On WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, at 7:30 PM, our club will have its monthly
meeting, at the Waterloo Community Arts Centre (aka “The Button
Factory”), 25 Regina Street S., Waterloo, right near the downtown.

You don’t have to be a member to attend (but memberships are only $20
for a family, so why not join?)

This meeting is our ANNUAL HOLIDAY LIVE AUCTION. About 40 lots of
minerals, gems, fossils, meteorites, and other hobby-related items will
be auctioned off, and there will also be 10 silent auction items.

Items include a new 2007 mineral wall calendar, an ultraviolet light, a
meteorite, and many minerals, such as a beautiful Elmwood fluorite on
sphalerite.

You can see the auction catalogue here:

There will also be free pizza and pop. And there will be a holiday
gift exchange: bring a rock-related gift, wrapped, and drop it at the
table, and pick one up.
