The goals and purposes of the Association of Earth Science Clubs of
Greater Kansas City are educational and scientific in nature.
They are: to promote interest in geology and lapidary arts; to
encourage the collecting and display of rocks, gems and minerals;
to encourage field trips of a geological, mineralogical or lapidary
nature; and to encourage greater public interest and education in
gems and minerals.
The area associate clubs make donations to the Midwest
Federation and the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies
Scholarship Fund. The Association has established its own scholarship
fund and presents scholarships each semester to several
college students. Our aim is to help deserving students further their
education in the earth sciences.
Various associate club members are available to
present programs and lectures with slides to schools, youth groups and
other clubs. Many area teachers have been given rock and mineral
specimen collections with display cases for study and enjoyment at
their schools.
The Association of Earth Science Clubs of Greater Kansas City members would
like to thank you for attending our show. You have contributed to the achievement of our goals.
