GOOD NEWS ahead for the Sun Lakes Rock, Gem & Silver Club!
While the HOA Covid restrictions have limited our ability to hold monthly meetings, our shops have been open since July and we are encouraging all our members and new members to sign up “NOW” for 2020/2021.

​We offer classes in many different skills including LAPIDARY, LOST WAX, STAINED GLASS, DICHROIC GLASS, SILVER CONSTRUCTION, WIRE WRAPPING, FACETING, GOURDS, and many more offered in three different shops.  Once the class is completed                                              the member may use OPEN SHOPS to practice new skills with others working the same                                              craft. 

Class schedules and Open Shop times are posted on our website www.slrgs.com and on the shop’s entrance doors. The club follows the Covid 19 guidelines of taking temperatures, masks, social distancing and washing hands.

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.

Spring 2021 Schedules are posted. Take a look! Contact instructor for additional information.

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
