TCGMC Membership
Why Join?
Have you ever found a lovely rock along the lake shore or while on vacation, and wondered what kind of rock it is? Found yourself wondering how fossils and gemstones are formed and where you can find some?
Then this is the place to satisfy your curiosity and delve a bit deeper into the facts and mysteries of the fascinating world of gems and minerals.
Our club welcomes your total family, no matter what your current level of knowledge may be. Our club is a happy mix of our rock sages, newbies and a great youth group that provides a wonderful educational experience that ignites curiosities.
The membership fee covers individuals under the Midwest Federation's insurance which allows you to attend the club's field trips. The club field trips potentially allow members access to areas that are restricted to the general public such as private tailing piles, mines, and private claims. This insurance covers both the individual and the property owner from any liability. This is the only way the club is allowed access to private areas. To go on club field trips you must be a member.
