Meetings
Public Welcome
Regular meetings of the Tuscarora Lapidary Society are held at 7:30PM on the second Wednesday of each month at the Springfield Township Municipal Building, 50 Powell Road, Springfield, PA 19064.
The Society holds a dinner meeting and awards presentation once per year in June at a local restaurant. There are no meetings in July and August.
Some meetings may be held by Zoom. Check the individual meeting for details.
Visitors are always welcome — just walk in and introduce yourself. A special program, an auction, or presentation on lapidary or related topics follows a brief business meeting.
