WELCOME TO 
   TULIP CITY GEM & MINERAL CLUB
                                  

OUR CLUB MEETINGS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR BOTH MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS. 
​                          OUR NEXT GENERAL MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR 
                           7:00 PM JUNE 27th, 2018 ​
              AT THE HOWARD MILLER COMMUNITY CENTER (ZEELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY)                                                               14 SOUTH CHURCH STREET, ZEELAND MI 49464

                           Summer Silent Auction On June 17th
We will be having a special program featuring our very own silent auction! This is an opportunity to share (i.e. sell) some of your rocks, minerals, and similar items (lapidary) with others. Proceeds from the silent auction sales will go back to the member (unless you decide to donate a portion to the very worthy Tulip City Gem and Mineral Club). There will be two Special Tables - one will be devoted to items that only our Junior members (under 18 years of age) are allowed to purchase and where these items are usually priced a little lower! The other Special table will be for items that benefit the Club, not an individual. The Club Treasurer will take payments for Club benefit items. Auction slips can be printed off from our own Tulip City Gem and Mineral Club website. Just go to www.tulipcity.org. (Club Sponsored Events – at the bottom of the page are links to four variations of bid slips that may be printed.)

Donors identify if an item is for Juniors or the general club. Sellers select the starting price, and the minimum bid increase. As each seller is responsible for making change for the items they sell, don’t forget to bring small bills and coins. It would help all concerned if buyers brought small change and/or a checkbook for this event.
​
If you are selling items, please start setting up around 6:30pm. In case space becomes limited, it may be necessary to limit your offerings.
Bring your recent finds, or maybe something that’s been tucked away for years. This is also your chance to pick up some great pieces. We’ll have tables periodically closing throughout the evening’s program. Watch those auctions closely, and the timer so you can make sure to get in the last bid before closing! Come share and expand your collection!
