A HUGE congratulations to two of our dedicated club members who were honored with Lifetime Membership Awards at this year’s Fiesta of Gems show!
Ellen Moe has been a member of the Culver City Rock and Mineral Club for 25 years. Throughout her membership, she has worn many hats and generously shared her time and talents. She currently serves as our Federation Chair, and many of you know her as the smiling face behind the Kid’s Zone at the Fiesta of Gems show—a role she has faithfully filled for many years, inspiring countless young rockhounds.
Janice Metz has been a member for more than 30 years and has also served the club in many capacities. For the past 12 years, she has been our Publicity Chair, helping to spread the word about the club and the Fiesta of Gems show through social media, local news outlets, and community outreach. Thanks to her efforts, many new members have joined the club, and countless visitors have discovered and attended the Fiesta of Gems show.
Please join us in congratulating Ellen and Janice on this well-deserved recognition. Thank you both for your years of dedication, hard work, and commitment to making our club such a wonderful community!
