The Connecticut Valley Mineral Club is a great way to meet new people, learn about minerals and rocks, and have fun doing it! We hold monthly meetings on the first Wednesday of every month except Feb, Jul and Aug. Doors open at 6:30pm and the meeting runs from 7:00pm-9:00pm in the Springfield Science Museum, Tolman Wing, off Edwards St, at the Quadrangle in Springfield, MA.
