Pebble Pups

The St. Louis Mineral & Gem Society's club for children is the Pebble Pups. They meet at our regular club meetings, usually while the adults have the business portion of the meeting. The emphasis is on hands-on learning and fun. Often there are free samples for the kids to take home.

   

Public Announcements

Wash U Parking Changes - Monday, August 29, 2016

Be careful where you park for our meetings or you WILL get a TICKET!  

Special permits are ALWAYS required to park in the RED ZONE.  Please do not park in a space with a RED sign.  There should be plenty of spaces with YELLOW signs; we are allowed to use these spaces during our meetings.

Save your money for rockhounding (field trips, shows, auctions, etc.); don't waste it on parking tickets!  Don't park in spaces with RED signs.
