Great news for those in East Valley of Phoenix and Apache Junction and let’s not forget those Gold Prospectors in Pinal county…The “Gold Prospectors Association of Apache Junction” is moving forward and reaching their milestones though not as fast as some would like, but we are slowly reaching them. To build anything to last you must have a solid foundation. If you like playing in the dirt like we do! Then come and join us and get dirty with us play in the dirt and having fun doing it. Check out our Facebook with the same name as above…sorry gotta go there a dirt pile with my name on it to dig in too. Bye. Oh yes, I almost forgot, we changed our Email address it is Goldbox@tlcsem.com and don’t forget to stop on our Facebook page and join our group page…

As a member of the Phoenix GPAA chapter, but living in Thatcher (145 miles, way east of Phoenix), an Apache Junction Chapter is much closer for us.  About an hour to an hour and a half closer.  The Phoenix GPAA Chapter has and is most helpful, friendly, and composed of great people.  Some may feel this is a competition, but not so.  We are all GPAA and if a Chapter is formed that may serve some better due to travel or logistics, maybe some of us could or would participate more often at meetings and outings.  This would benefit all of us GPAA members. 

We would support both chapters as much as we can. 

In all Honesty Apache Junction would be much easier and more economical for us to attend.

Thank you all for your efforts and keep us posted.

I hate to be the one who tells you after long hours and money. The Gold Prospectors Association of Apache Junction is NO Longer a Chapter of GPAA! To find out more of the finer details I suggest an Email to the Chapter Director of GPAA Richard Robinson at GPAA. All I can say is he failed to do what he should not have done in that position within GPAA and he took sides without finding out all the details. There is a big credibility issue and it’s not mine!
