The Sun Lakes Rock, Gem & Silver Club is located in the Sun Lakes, Arizona communities: Sun Lakes Country Club, Cottonwood/Palo Verde and Oakwood. 

We have workshops in all three communities that support the Classes and Open Shops of the Club. Membership is open to any resident of Sun Lakes who wants to learn about or practice the activities supported by the Club.

October through April general meetings are held on the third Monday at the Sun Lakes Country Club, Navajo Room.  During this “Active” period we have classes that educate our members in the arts supported by our workshops.  Our Open Shops are available throughout the year in all of our communities with monitors available to answer questions or help solve problems as our members practice the skills that were obtained through our classes.

The Sun Lakes Rock Gem and Silver Club is always in need of volunteers! Volunteers are what keeps our Club moving along! This year we will have open Board positions, instructor positions, or just being able to help set up the room before meetings. We can use help at the membership table, raffle table, the auction table, social events, keeping the labs stocked with brochures and requisition forms, assisting instructors—you name it we can find you a big or little job.

Speak with one of our board members regarding positions that are currently open. Thanks.
