Welcome to the Pleasant Oaks Gem and Mineral Club Home Page The Pleasant Oaks Gem and Mineral Club of Dallas (POGMC) is organized to promote interest in the various earth sciences, in particular, those areas dealing with the science of gems, minerals and fossils, the art of cutting and polishing gemstones, metal crafts, jewelry arts, and all related fields. The club is a not-for-profit organization established for charitable and educational purposes. POGMC offers a unique way to learn the various aspects of our rock hound hobby. Periodically we have hands-on sessions which could include mineral identification, wire wrapping, gem tree fabrication, and other basic lapidary skills. If we are not holding a hands-on session then we will have a guest speaker or other presentation of general interest to all members. The Clubs also sponsors Field trips and shares these trips with other clubs in the Dallas - Fort Worth area. POGMC is a member of the "South Central Federation of Mineral Societies" and is affiliated with the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies. OUR NEXT MEETING will be on Monday, December 2, 2024. We will meet at the Knights of Columbus Council 6402 Hall, 3722 Cavalier Drive, Garland, TX 75042. We will start at 7:00 PM and be through by 9:00 PM. This will be our annual Christmas Party with Gift Exchange (about $15.00, hobby related) with Gift Stealing. We will have a Pot Luck featuring Finger Food. Don't plan on a dinner, but plan on plenty to eat! VISITORS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME. POGMC publishes a monthly newsletter, the Chips and Chatter. Recent issues of the Chips and Chatter are available from the internet, see the Newsletter tab here or above.
