Circle of Trust

1. Count-a-Rama
2. Name-a-Rama
3. Why is this site called Quarry? First, Quarrying is significant to Rocklin’s history. Rocklin was incorporated in 1893 (during the peak of railroad and granite mining activity) and had 22 granite quarries by 1910. Second, Quarrying is the act of finding potential in unexpected places and refining it to be usable. We want this AO to be a place of self-discovery and refinement. A place where we deposit sweat and weakness and leave with a fellowship of brothers, a better understanding of ourselves, and value we did not know we had.
4. Bilbo “Hat model” silhouette Stickers were passed out (Bilbo was unaware this was taking place)
5. Named FNG – Hot Rocks (EH’d by Coleman, from Wisconsin, and likes Saunas)
6. Ball of Man
