MEETINGS:/font>

Welcome to the Cooperative Field Trip Chairmen Association's web site!

"Co-op"American Flag

Thank you to members of our Co-op societies for attending our Annual Meeting and Seminar last spring and to the El Dorado Society for hosting it.

We really appreciate all of you who brought items for our Silent Auction as well as the daring bidders who acquired them!

Special thanks to Jim Hutchings for his presentation about many of his "Favorite RockhoundingTrips to Nevada."  Great photos! Great information as usual! 

WE HAVE A NEW MEMBER CLUB

Welcome Feather River Lapidary & Mineral ~ This fine society has become a Co-op member.  Feather River members are avid rockhounds. They also hold a wonderful annual show in Chico, usually in the Spring. We look forward to exchanging field trips as well as attending their shows.  Their meetings are held in Oroville.

Thank you to all of our member clubs for their continued support and input especially during these difficult times.  We hope that you all stay safe and well.

Scheduling of our next Meeting will be d
etermined by the status of the Covid  virus.  We will be sending out an email about this.


Stay safe!
