September meeting with Cookie Mining

The California Chapter of WOMEN IN MINING held this month’s meeting at the Mojave Desert AQMD offices in Victorville.  We had a great meeting (wonderful food) and it was followed by an activity lesson “Chocolate Chip Cookie Mining” provided by Dinah Shumway.  It was designed to remind us and prepare us to be able to go into the classroom and teach a class of potentially future miners (even if they are only 12 years old).
