Do you want an opportunity to learn and experience more with the GVR Lapidary & Silversmith Club?  You can teach, assistant teach, be a monitor at one of the centers, serve on the board, be a committee member for our yearly money maker-- the Festival, and other committees. There are numerous other things we need volunteers for.  Contact our Volunteer Coordinator and we will explore the many ways you can fulfill your 12 hours of volunteering commitment with your Lapidary Membership.  Remember volunteers keep GVR Lapidary & Silversmith Club in existence.
