SUMMARY:Clubhouse Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:Since 1945\, the mission of the Minnesota Mineral Club has been to encourage interest and education in geology\, mineralogy\, lapidary and earth sciences.  \n\n\n\nMultiple attempts over the past 80 years have been made to create a physical location that could be the enduring home of the MMC\, act as a classroom\, be a space for club meetings\, AND a workshop with access to lapidary equipment and training\, but all have failed… UNTIL NOW.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA new chapter is beginning on Saturday\, Sept. 6\, 2025 with the Grand Opening of the new clubhouse — The Rockhaus. Your 2025 Minnesota Mineral Club Board of Directors and Clubhouse Committee invite you to join the celebration between 1:00pm-4:00pm. The event is an open house format so come anytime to ask some questions\, look around\, see the equipment\, see what capabilities there are and visit with other members. Refreshments will be provided. \n\n\n\nThe Rockhaus8147 Pleasant Ave. S. Bloomington\, MN 55420  \n\n\n\nLink to Map \n\n\n\nThe Rockhaus is that the corner of W 82nd St and Pleasant Ave S\, just across the railroad tracks from the Toro building. Note: Our space is not yet wheelchair accessible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nParking \n\n\n\nYou can park in any open spot in front of the building\, in the parking lot marked with the P on the above map or along the west side of Pleasant Ave S\, north of 82nd (see the blue areas on the map above). \n\n\n\nCome check it out! \n\n\n\n – Minnesota Mineral Club
