ABOUT: The Mile Hi Rock & Mineral Society (RAMS) was formed in 1975 as a non-profit organization, with the objective being the education of its members on all aspects pertaining to the rock and mineral hobby and associated arts. 

MEETINGS: Although we do not hold meetings each and every month, we do publish a monthly newsletter keeping members up-to-date with club information. Our meetings are held on an as needed basis and include a business meeting, 

FIELD TRIPS: We schedule many field trips depending on weather conditions  Some of the trips are held jointly with other clubs and include searches for many different minerals including.

NEWS LETTERS: Our newsletters are published monthly and are mailed or e-mailed to each member. Newsletters are designed to keep our members up to date with activities and information. Although all copies contain photos, only the e-mailed copies (which can also be found on this website in the Member’s only area) are in color.

SHOW and TELL:  The “show and tell” is an annual and fun event held prior to the Denver Gem and Mineral Show. Members put together a display of hobby related items of whatever they wish. This may be collected specimens, purchased specimens, jewelry, fossils and other craft items. At the meeting, everyone has a chance to talk about his or her display. From the displays at the “show and tell”, items are selected for the club cases displayed at the Denver Gem and Mineral Show.

OTHER CLUBS:  There are other clubs in the area that we sometimes join for mutual events, such as field trips and shows.

AFFILIATIONS: We are members of the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies (AFMS), Rocky Mountain Federation of Mineralogical Society (RMFMS), and the Greater Denver Area Gem and Mineral Council, which sponsors the Denver Gem and Mineral Show (www.DenverMineralShow.com). This is a not-for-profit gem, mineral and fossil show and many of our members are active participants on the Denver Show Committee.
