Kids are a big part of MSNEPA
Some of our most enthusiastic members are the youngest ones. Kids and grandkids are covered under a family membership ($15/year) — they come along on the fun, learn from collectors who love to teach, and get first crack at the kids' activities, grab bags, and rock-identification table at our annual show.
Scouts are always welcome too — scouts in uniform get into the Treasures of the Earth show free. If you've got a young collector at home, a meeting is a great first outing: friendly, hands-on, and full of people happy to look at whatever's in their pockets.
Other ways to join
In person
Come to any monthly meeting at the Everhart Museum in Scranton. Bring your dues — cash or check made out to MSNEPA — and say hello. Meeting dates are posted on our Facebook group.
By mail
Mail a check payable to MSNEPA to our treasurer, along with your name, address, email, and membership type.
Email treasurer George Walko at anthracitecoin@gmail.com first — he'll confirm the current mailing address and answer any dues questions.
