Down to business…….I would like to see record attendanceat the next SFMS meeting June 4th in Georgia.
The Georgia Mineral Society will be hosting the SFMS. After the meeting on Saturday will bethe picnic and then the auction!!!!!!Please come with a big appetite and lots of money, I hearthru the grape vine this is a great auction to pick up your favorite lapidary toys and maybeeven a rock or two.
I look forward to seeing everybody in June at the SFMS Quarterly Meeting.
In my First President message in the Lodestar, I ask for club editors to send the clubs newsletter to me. I am sad to report that I only received 2 new newsletters. It makes me wonder ifour members are reading the Lodestar???????Stay in touch read the Lodestar and check outthe SFMS website. There is a lot of info that clubs need to know found there. Your club maybe missing out!
First Vice President's ReportTheresa Polley, 1st Vice President
SFMS Quarterly Meeting UpdateAs of 15 April 2016, Dennis from GMS called me tonight to let me knowthat no one had registered for hotel rooms for the meeting. The roomrate is only available until May 12th. We also need to have 10 roomsbooked as soon as possible so the SFMS does not have to foot the billfor the unused 10 rooms. I am signing up tonight. I encourageeveryone else that plans on staying at the hotel to book as soon as they can.

Treasurer's Report
2016 SFMS Club & Show Liability InsuranceCharlotte Caughman, Assistant Treasurer & Liability Liaison
We have only received dues from about half of our clubs! Insurance payments are always
due in early or late Spring unless our contract is up for negotiation then it is an earlier date.Your SFMS website is always a great source for getting information for lots of things – evenmembership and insurance questions and dates, and forms to fill out and return with yourpayments. Please use our website.
There are two forms regarding insurance you must send to me. If you do not sponsor ashow/event then do not bother with the request for certificate form. These forms provide mewith the necessary information about your club to process your insurance application.Without this information, I am simply lost. Below, find listed some of the on-going problems Iam having.
….Clubs identifying with just initials – this causes extra work and headaches.
….No signatures on checks or forms
….Forms not completed
…. # of members not listed and/or not paid
….We must have the request for certificate form emailed to me so I can email to our ins. Co.If you do not have adobe then perhaps someone else in your club does.
….Do not write the checks to me but to SFMS.
So all in all you have the following monies to send in to SFMS at the beginning of eachyear:
$2.00 per member for membership fees-----to membership chairman
$2.00 per member for Liability insurance fees to me, the insurance LIAISON
$220.00 per each event/show your club represents, to me, the insurance liaison
If you will help insure your paperwork is correct, then I will have more time to honor otherrequests from different clubs. One request was providing a summary of coverage formembership and show liability to each club. Our insurance rep. has agreed to send thisstatement to the email address listed on the request for certificate form and the clubinformation form.
If you have paid your show/event insurance but not the membership liability, your showcertificate may not arrive in time.
Please direct all questions/concerns to me at 864-542-5198 or email:[email protected]. Presidents, if your club name does not appear on thefollowing list, your club has not paid. Payments were due 3/15/16.
