Date: Wednesday, March 19, 2025
Social Time: 7:00 pm
Meeting Time: 7:30 pm
Topic: Making a GMS Business Card
Location: In-person and via Zoom Link on the GMS Calendar here

February’s meeting discussed the interesting case of Aluminum, the third most abundant element in Earth’s crust, which was not refined into a pure metal until two hundred years ago. We discussed ores of aluminum, the refining process and uses of aluminum.

The March meeting will veer away from minerals for a month and show participants how to make a business card with the Georgia Mineral Society logo and contact information. Many members volunteer their time at public outings and GMS functions and would like to have a professional way to direct people to our club website and information. Cards can use the round GMS logo or a design or photograph of the owner’s choice. Cards can be formatted with a free online service or with Microsoft Word, and printed at home or taken to a business print center, like Staples or Office Depot.
