    Karen, You just reminded me, when my grandson's were living with me,
    I enrolled them in a charter School.

    I volunteered in each classroom for something over 3 years. I was
    asked to teach in the after school program and did so. I taught
    lapidary, the children learned to identify stones and then I taught
    them to make jewelry for themselves and their family.

    For quite some time after my guys moved to Texas, I would get hugged
    in markets and similar. Those children would pull over their parent
    and so happily say, "this is my teacher."

    I joined a Rock and Mineral Culb that welcomed children. As the boys
    reached 8, they were allowed to use the equipment and cut cabachons.
    They loved it.

    A rather elderly lady was trying to learn the machinery and a very
    proud 8 year old Anthony, gently took her hands an showed her how to
    rotate the dop and finish her stone.

    We need to bring the children into our midst, the survival of Rock
    and Mineral groups is contingent on youth with interested parents.
    Terrie
