A letter from our President, Diana Clayton
Dear Shasta Miners and Prospectors: I have been President since 2010. June has al-
ways been a hard month because of all the activi-
ties. This June, coincidently, all of our directors,
officers and chairs have commitments to family,
vacations, work and health which fall on the meet-
ing date. I hope everyone understands the reasons
for cancelling the June meeting. July 21, 2016
we meet as usual. I hope everyone is enjoying
their summer and are able to get out and search
for treasures. . Be sure to check our display at the Shasta County Fair.

HELLO FELLOW MINERS,
I hope everyone is successful at staying cool in this
hot weather. The Shasta district fair is HERE – so if
you have time and are willing to volunteer –please
get ahold of James Stevens as he is now our chairperson. His
numbers are home -530-347-1679 or cell 530-945-3401. The fair
is being held June 15th thru June 18th. He will be needing a lot of
help as most of the officers will be out of town during that time.
Hoping that all our dad’s in the club have a great dad’s day. Re-
minder that the last weekend in July is our annual outing – loca-
tion will be Douglas city campground – there will probably be a
nightly space charge. I am looking to this event as we always have lots of fun, fun, fun!!! Our annual picnic is to be held on August
20th. It is always lots of fun and games for the whole family. Due to circumstances beyond our control – THERE WILL NOT BE A
JUNE MEETING!!! So I hope to see everyone at the July 21st meeting.
Guided Metal Detector Outings: Guided metal detecting outing usually occur on the Second Sat. morning after our
regular scheduled meeting. The location of the hunt is announced at the general meeting. If you are unable to attend the meeting please contact Bill Doyle, Metal Detecting Chair. Email: [email protected] or call (530) -549 -3039
Guided Claims Outings: Guided Claims outings are scheduled the first Sat. following the general meeting. For more information contact Michael Abernathy, Claims Chair. Email: [email protected] or call 530) 638-6717
