The Grand Traverse Area Rock and Mineral Club, Traverse City, Michigan (GTARMC) is open to rockhounds of all ages. Promoting our hobby is our main goal. Here is our mission statement.

Our next meeting of 2024 will be held on Wednesday, March 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the Cherryland VFW Post at 3400 Veterans Drive in Traverse City. This is the same place where we hold our club show in September. See the newsletter for more information. The Pebble Pups meeting will begin at 5:30 pm. Our regular meetings have been on the third Wednesday of each month, except August and December. Watch for a probable change in the meeting day starting in April 2024. Please come to our next meeting. You do not have to be a member of the GTARMC to attend and rockhounds of all ages are welcome, including young rockpups.
