The next meeting is Thursday, March 27th, 6:30p. at the Education Center
The March Jewelry 
activity will be a metal project designed by each pup. The options include a key fob, a pendant or a pair of earrings. We will cut shapes using dye cutters and if the pups would like to add a cabochon they can rivet a copper bezel cup to the metal and set a stone.
We are still planning our field trip to Cathedral Caverns on Saturday, March 29th. If you are interested in joining us, please reach out to Suzanne Miller at [email protected]. We will also have information printed out at the meeting. This field trip will add to our topic for next month and give the group a chance to look at a cave in action. We will gather at the Caverns parking lot, and if we have enough participants we will get a group rate. Each family will pay separately. See the map below.
