CAS-GJ meets indoors monthly January - June, then September- December. July and August we hold outdoor potlucks. Meeting NIGHTS are the 2nd MONDAY of each month.

Regular meetings are FREE and OPEN to the PUBLIC. Our membership includes students, those who cannot even keep all the vowels straight in the word A-r-c-h-A-E-O-l-O-g-Y, as well as academics and professionals.

The church has asked us to give a 'DONATION' in lieu of a fixed amount of payment for use of the room so please bring and give a few dollars each to thank them for the generous use of the meeting room.

As you enter the meeting hall, to the left of the main entrance, there will be a table where you can pick up membership forms to join or renew your membership.

There will also be a Show n Tell table as you enter the room. Some months it may have items members have brought for others to look at. Sometimes there may be books or magazines to exchange. There may also be assorted used books for sale for $1 or $2 each. If you have archaeology or related books or magazines you would like to recycle consider bringing them
