Hi All:

    Since I entered posts the other day on three chat pages about the
    Orchid Dinner (February 3rd) and the faceters OPLC Hob nob (February
    4th) that will carried out at Tucson, several people have contacted
    me to find out about one or both of the events. I took it for
    granted that most already knew, but I was wrong about that. 

    On the night of February 3rd there will be a dinner/dance carried
    out by the GIA Alumni members, and they will have an auction. I
    wanted to attend that, but since it falls on the same evening as the
    Orchid Dinner I had to make a difficult choice (for me). I chose to
    attend the 10th Annual Tucson Orchid Dinner on February 3rd. I have
    made my reservations. 

    Orchid has many followers including those interested in Jewelry
    manufacturing, methods, and procedures. This includes faceters and
    other areas of lapidary interests. It includes experts at
    metalworking, and experts from the Jeweler's bench. Check out the
    web site at www.ganoksin.com/orchid to see if this site is good for
    you. I think you will find that it is! Explore this vast site. You
    will find information there about the Orchid Dinner. Reservations
    are needed. I think dress is to be something in average good
    taste...you do not want to go as a slob (in your shorts and
    sandals), but I would not attend if a Tux was required. I intend to
    wear slacks, a shirt and tie, and a sport coat. And, this is putting
    myself out, because I gave up wearing ties about sixty years ago
    when I got discharged from the Army Air Force. I will be the guy
    wearing that very old tie that dates back many years. I may consider
    selling my tie so that I can get rich and retire from my present
    tired retirement. Orchid is open to the public, so sign up if the
    organization appeals to you. When you get on the web page called out
    above, you will see a connection to click on as to how to join. On
    the next page, you will see a connection to click on for "The 10th
    Annual Tucson Orchid Dinner." 

    Now about the Old Pueblo Lapidary Club OPLC night of the faceters
    Hob Nob. I always enjoy a gathering of faceters, especially at
    Tucson. This event on the evening of February 4th fills the
    clubhouse with those who have a interest in methods and equipment
    used for faceting all of the colored stones. For a buck or two
    donated, you get some pizza and soft drinks. Dress is definitely
    casual, no tie required, no Tux, but I still do not care to see you
    in shorts and sandals. Someone in a Tux would look equally weird, in
    my view. But hey, I do not make the rules so you can probably get by
    with whatever on. Not me, but you may impress someone there if you
    wear your purple shirt and pink pants, with a yellow scarf around
    your neck and dirty puce tennis shoes to finish things off. The
    clubhouse is rather hard to find the first time. Go to the web site
    at www.lapidaryclub.org go down the page and click on "Annual
    Faceters Hobnob," then click on "Click here for directions." Print
    out the information, pictures, and map to take along with you to
    Tucson. Then you will not have an excuse for not being able to find
    the place. See you there! 

Gee, I am getting excited.
