Create A Facebook Page (NOT A PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP)
If your mineral club does not have a Facebook page…. It needs one! Facebook is a great way to create events and advertise your show, your club meetings, and find new members. You can post pictures of your field trips etc. A Facebook “Group” is private and can be very limiting, especially if you are looking for new members or trying to attract people to your Mineral Shows. A Facebook Page is Public, A Facebook Group is Private.

EFMLS Show Coordinator
The Federation has a Show Coordinator who, when consulted, will help schedule shows so that nearby organizations will not schedule shows at the same time and be competing for the same audience. This, of course, only works when the people who are putting on the shows check with the coordinator. The Show Coordinator also sees that organization show information appears in the EFMLS News.
