The next meeting is January 23rd: Indian Artifacts.
Bill Friday will describe how the early American Indians got here, how they lived, and how they used the materials around them to survive and thrive with no television, telephone, electric lights, or cars, and even no internet. We will meet in the Senior Center Cafeteria at 6:00pm on January 23rd. Bring your friends. We are hoping to meet new members who joined the Gem & Mineral Society at the Fall Show.
6pm – 9pm, Merrimac Room (middle hallway), Huntsville-Madison County Senior Center, 2200 Drake Ave. SW. Park in North lot.
