Welcome to CokerCreekGPAA.Com


 Next Chapter Meeting:

February 20th at 10 am, at the Coker Creek Ruritan Club.

Please show up and support the chapter in the February Meeting.

I hope to have enough members show up to do our event planning for the year.
With as large as the chapter is,,,,  WE NEED YOUR INPUT and HELP.

February 20th at 10 am, at the Coker Creek Ruritan Club. 

Please be there and help plan the years events and outings for the chapter. 
Without your help, we may plan a bunch of lame things, or perhaps nothing at all.... 

I hope to see a lot of you there. 
Perhaps the weather will be good and we can go out afterward. 
Weather permitting, I will be going out after the meeting.

Let's go prospecting after the meeting.   It's a great time for new prospectors to get out with people that have experience, and learn what you could do better. Dress for the weather.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A G.P.A.A. MEMBER TO ATTEND OUR MEETINGS.

At the coker creek Ruritan club - 10am

 Here are the directions:

On Hwy 68, heading south from Tellico Plains, go to Coker Creek. (about 10
miles or so) Where the post office and little shops are at, on the corner
going to the left, (towards doc rogers field) you take a right.


Go about 1/4 mile, and take that first road on the left. That is ruritan rd.
Turn left towards the school, and the ruritan club is the white building
just before the school, on your right.

We use the back section for our meetings, unless it is a pitch in dinner
like the next two.

The meetings raffle prizes will depend on our chapters turnout.
Please come, learn what is going on this year with the chapter,,,  And, socialize and talk. 
There are some changes to the dredge / sluice permit. 
Hope to see you there!

There is a project going on accross the creek, behind the GPAA area of the property.  Heavy machinery is being used to finish the shrimp ponds for the land owner.  GPAA members are NOT allowed in the back area while this is going on, for safety and security reasons.  Please do not go past the creek when at Rooster Ridge.  Stay on the Side of the creek towards Hwy 68.

Thank you.
