From Ye Olde President…..

Welcome everyone to the busy Fall season. The club’s Fossil Fair will be here soon and we are looking for volunteers to help out at the fossil fair. If you want to sign up or have questions, please see Melissa at September’s 20th meeting for information. FFH is looking for donations for the Fossil Fair silent auction. All club members’ donations and volunteer hours will earn you fossil bucks. Valerie reports the show tables are all rented and full. Everything is a go and lets pray the weather is good to us that weekend of the Fossil Fair.

Aiden with Florida Fossilized will be our guest speaker for September’s 20th FFH meeting.

There will not be a meeting in October because of the Fossil Fair. I hope to see everyone visiting the FFH Fossil Fair.

Paleontology for Kids programs will be active at all meetings from 2pm to 3pm. I would like to thank Laurie and Francesca for their hard work and dedication with making Paleontology for Kids a success.

October’s field trip….. MOSA Museum in Daytona Beach.
Slothtober Fest and Fossil Fest MOAS is Saturday, October 25 from 10am to 3pm. There will be food trucks. Dr. Rachel Narducci is the keynote speaker and will be talking about giant ground sloths. Also, The Exhibit Expedition Dinosaur will be on display OCT-MAR 2026.

Jim Zacharias invites FFH members to bring their personal fossil exhibits for the event. I will have a sign up sheet at the September meeting for exhibitors for the event. All exhibitors will meet at MOSA Daytona and setup time is 8am-10am as needed.

At EVERY meeting!

• Support your club with the purchase of vintage fossil fair t-shirts! Variety of sizes available at meetings while they last. $25/Adults and Kids/$20.
• “Fossil swap”: every member brings in fossils to talk about and swap with other members.
• Paleontology for Kids has been a success and will be held before the general meetings at 2:00pm.

Thank you,
Salvatore Sansone,
FFH President
