Meetings are usually held on the fourth Friday of Jan, Feb, March, April, May, Sept, Oct and Nov.. The November meeting is often held a week earlier to avoid Thanksgiving weekend.  We have a holiday dinner with the Cincinnati Mineral Society that includes a feature speaker. We sometimes meet with the Kentucky Paleo Society in June or July for a picnic meeting which includes a field trip.
