CCRMC General Meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at 7:30 PM, followed by a monthly Program presentation at 8 PM. We welcome you to join our next scheduled meeting:
-
Club Meeting – February 10, 2025
7:30 PM
IN-PERSON
Winter Silent Auction
Hosted by CCRMC
Please join us on February 10 at 7:30 PM in the Multipurpose Room at the Veterans Memorial Complex, 4117 Overland Ave, Culver City 90230 for the winter silent auction.
We received a big donation of beads, just about every size, shape, and color you can imagine. All of them are semi-precious stones, with no plastic or glass beads. We will also have lapidary donations, including some Petrified Wood. What we have will be supplemented with members’ donations.
The members of the Bead Society of Los Angeles are invited to join us at the auction.
If you have stone rough, cabs or slabs, finished jewelry, lapidary or jewelry-making tools, lapidary or bead-related books or magazines you want to donate, bring it to the Shop on February 8th or 9th between Noon and 4 PM, or bring it to the meeting just make sure you arrive early so it can be included on one of the tables.
If you have never been to one of our prior Silent Auctions, you are in for a treat. When you arrive, you can check out all the items but not yet bid on anything. Start bidding time will be announced. The starting bid for many items is just a scant 25 cents, and the minimum bidding increments are also 25 cents, so there are significant bargains to be had. Keep an eye on the items you bid on to ensure you aren’t outbid, and then bid again if you are and want. You must put down the pencil when the “bidding stop” is announced. Bring your winning auction slips, pay at the table in front, and go home with your new treasures.
Proceeds go directly into the club’s operating account that forwards our mission of education in the Earth sciences to several schools in Culver City, keeping our lapidary Shop in good working condition and supporting our monthly meetings including top-notch speakers and demonstrators in all facets of geochemistry and the lapidary arts.
We need a couple of members to arrive at 7 PM to help with the setup and a couple of members to stay behind at the end of the meeting to help load what wasn’t bid on during the auction.
The Veteran’s Memorial Multi-Purpose Room is in the back of the Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium Building. When entering the parking lot from Culver Blvd. (closest to Overland Blvd.), walk to the right when facing the building. Around the corner is a sign leading to the Multi-Purpose Room, where our meetings are held.
