On Wednesday, January 18, 2022, at 5:00PM: It's the GCAS monthly IN-PERSON general meeting at 2045 Memory Lane in Silver City, New Mexico. Doors open at 5PM for folks to socialize and get settled. No potluck but if you prefer, bring your own light snacks or handy meal (burrito, etc.) and beverage. Meeting starts at 5:30PM sharp with a brief to nonexistent business meeting followed at 5:45PM by our featured speaker, the GCAS's own Greg Conlin, who will present a slideshow on Greg's Latest Adventures in Peru's Southern Andes.

Greg has spent many years exploring the Andes and has visited many archaeological sites there, especially those less visited or that used megalithic stone construction methods. Please join us to see Peru through Greg's eyes. Expect the meeting to adjourn about 7:00PM. In order to offer our members a safe and comfortable experience the GCAS follows CDC and New Mexico Department of Health guidelines for indoor gatherings including masking, distancing, and vaccinations.
