WMC is well-known as a Field Trip Club! WMC safely conducted a dozen field trips in 2020; and in 2021 we had a blockbuster field trip season! We enjoyed field trips to 18 different collecting sites in 2021, including fossil sites and our Herkimer Diamond claims in New York, a half dozen collecting sites in Massachusetts, lithium pegmatities in Connecticut and Maine, and 5 mines in New Hampshire, including the famous Ruggles Mine in Grafton, NH.
Worcester Mineral Club memberships has doubled since March, 2019, attributable in part to a common goal of spreading kindness, sharing knowledge, having a wonderful bunch of member volunteers helping in our committees, an ability to safely find ways to pivot through the challenges of Covid-19, and our technologically advanced on-line system for new member applications, renewals, and payment of membership dues.
