By-laws of Dry Dredgers, Inc.
The Dry Dredgers is an association of amateur geologists dedicated
to the knowledge and enjoyment of fossils. The association was founded
in 1942 and continues to bring together those interested in the life
of prehistoric times. Its aim is to stimulate interest in geology, to
encourage the collection and identification of fossils, and to
participate in field trips and exhibitions. The club is affiliated
with the University of
Cincinnati Geology Department, and annually awards the Paul Sanders
Award to support the study of paleontology
Members of the Dry Dredgers are individuals of all ages,
backgrounds, and levels of expertise, sharing a common and sincere
interest in fossils. Average membership is about 150 individuals.
Meetings are held generally at 8 p.m. on the fourth Friday of every
month from September to June. At these meetings, projects are
discussed, field trips planned, lectures presented and fossils
appreciated.
All meetings are held in Room 201 Braunstein Hall on the
University of Cincinnati campus. Field trips take place monthly in the
autumn and spring, usually within 100 miles of Cincinnati.
Membership is open to all interested individuals and families.
Family membership is $10 per year. If you would like to join, or would
