Some of the benefits of MGMS membership
MGMS members are eligible to participate in classes, field trips for collecting specimens, and other special activities. After proper training, members may use the lapidary equipment.
MGMS members may also participate in activities sponsored by the Southeast Federation of Mineralogical Societies (SFMS) such as monthly field trips throughout the Southeast and educational workshops.
MGMS is a volunteer organization.
It’s amazing what you can learn when you volunteer and how quickly you’ll feel as though you’re really a part of the group. An offer to help is always appreciated.
Without members willing to serve, we wouldn’t be able to offer the opportunities that we currently have. Special talents are welcome, but not necessary. Even something as simple as lending a hand to clean up after a meeting is helpful.
