A MESSAGE FROM OUR WEPC PRESIDENT

Hello Everyone, 

I hope this message finds you keeping well.  Just a quick message to say hello and to make this announcement.  Due to the current level of Omicron variant of COVID-19 infections still very high, we will cancel our February 1, 2022 General Meeting.  I’m hoping there will be significant reduction in the level of infections in our region that will allow us to consider a meeting in March 2022 for a General meeting.  Our new Board of Director’s had voted to cancel January 18, 2022 meeting as well however, are preparing to meet in remote audio/video setting very soon to conduct business. 

If you have not been to WEPC’s website recently, please visit the home page which has most recent news and important information posted.  As you scroll through, you can retrieve/download claim maps if you have not already.  Be sure to come across links to aerial footage of our claims posted by Member Lyle Majeska for a view of our claims not typically seen.

I’ll look forward to seeing you at meeting once we are able to resume or we might cross paths at one of our claims by good luck.  Until then,  keep healthy and go searching for gold!

Marshall Holman

Irma Estrada

I am sorry to report that we have recently lost of of our members, Irma Estrada.  She and her husband, John, joined the club in 2014 and have been very active members in the past.  The extended Estrada family has been part of WEPC for nearly two decades.  Please keep John and his family in your prayers.

Happy New Year!

Greetings, WEPC members,

Happy New Year!  I sure hope 2022 is better than 2021 for everyone.  I know I did not find much gold this year, but I did have a lot of fun trying.  We have a lot to cover in this message.  The first important item is that we have decided to cancel the 1/4/22 General Meeting.  COVID Omicron is spreading at an enormous rate and is so much more contagious than Delta (which was much more contagious than the original COVID).  I think it is best to pass on a meeting this month until things settle down.  

The club has signed up for a booth at the gold show in Pomona in 6 weeks.  However, we shall see if this is cancelled or if the club decides to sit this one out.  We will know more in a few weeks.

Some other big news is our new club officers.  We had many people end up serving almost 3 years of a one-year term due to COVID.  I am turning over the reins to our new President, Marshall Holman.  Many of you know him well and the club is in good hands.  He has served as president in the past and helped me enormously in the last almost 4 years I have been serving.  Our new Vice President is Ben Wilbur.  Secretary will be me (Kevin Regli).  Treasurer will be Julia Wilbur.  Board members will be Bob Ashe, Pat Ashe, Dmitri Maslov, Zoe Regli, Sharon Dahl, Fred Dahl, Alex Rocco, and Lyle Majeska.  We have some new faces and it will be nice to get some new ideas.  I want to thank Nikki Brady, Bill Brady, and Doris Holden who are retiring from the board for all the hard work they have done for the club.

This is my last message as president as the new board members will serve 18 months starting 1/1/22.  Remember we have 9 great claims and I have been seeing many nuggets found in the past 6 weeks at our various desert claims.  Even I finally found a little one at Randsburg after years of finding flakes and pickers there.  Keep looking for gold!

Kevin Regli, President West End Prospectors
