NEWS FLASH!!!  Second Saturdays in Media...

 

Tuscarora Lapidary Society is now participating in Media, PA's Second Saturday program - a monthly event where businesses are open from 6pm to, at least, 9pm run by the Media Art Council.  There is live music at many open establishments. 

 

Months that we will be participating are June - October of this year.  On the second Saturday of the month, from 6pm to 9pm, please come and visit our Media facility at 105 W. Jasper Street.  Some of our members will be there answering questions about the lapidary hobby and demonstrating skills on the machines.  Also, unique items handmade by our club members will be available for sale benefiting our "New Home Fund".  Please come out to Media, PA for an evening of fun and stop by.  (Jasper Street is one block north running parallel to State Street near the cross street of Olive.)
