The Burlington Gem and Mineral Club has cancelled its monthly meetings until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Club has also cancelled its 2020 Champlain Valley Gem, Mineral and Fossil Show originally scheduled for July 25 and 26.
The Club has begun setting up collecting trips within Vermont for the 2020 season. Trips will be limited to the number of people that each site can accommodate safely and everyone must observe the safety protocols, including physical distancing and the wearing of face masks, laid out in email messages sent out to Club members prior to the trips. Members failing to observe required safety protocols will be asked to leave and will not be permitted to go on future Club trips. Those members interested in going on a particular trip must contact the indicated trip coordinator prior to the trip.
