The CRMS 2022 Silent Auction is Postponed

Dear Fellow Rockhounds:

The CRMS Board has been discussing how to respond to the coronavirus situation with regards to the Silent Auction and our up-coming meetings, and that we have been communicating with St. Peter's about what they have done and are planning to do.

After taking into consideration many factors, it has been decided that we With limits imposed on gatherings & closings of many facilities, it seems only prudent to cancel and eliminate the potential risk of being infected by COVID-19 (or any other pathogens).

We Will Rock You!
