Mark your calendar to join us tonight Wednesday November 17, at 6pm in the VIP room (upstairs on your left) of the Sanctuary.

Our Special Guest this week is Jerry L Trickel, President of Precious Gem Appraisal Laboratory. PGAL is an independent jewelry appraisal service not connected in any way with any retail wholesale jewelry outlet.

To contact Mr. Trickel and PGAL. Phone:(480) 994-9410 Fax:(480) 941-7025 Address: Monterey Plaza, 3295 N Civic Center Blvd. Scottsdale, AZ 85251

Mr. Trickel established PGAL in 1976 as an independent appraisal service which has no vested interest in jewelry, other than the respon- sibility of making the most accurate appraisal possible. The most valued asset PGAL has to offer is a legitimate intent to perform appraisals with professional accuracy without prejudice.

Mr. Trickel is a Graduate Gemologist and has worked in the jewelry industry for over 35 years, working in the retail and wholesale area. He is listed in "Jeweler's Circular Keystone Who's Who In The Jewelry Industry".

Appraisal services are provided to individuals, jewelry stores, trust departments, insurance companies and law enforcement agencies. In addition to providing jewelry appraisal services, Mr. Trickel testifies in court as an expert witness, assists in seizure of assets with law enforcement agencies and conducts full inventories of jewelry stores.

Appraisals are scheduled by appointment only. The client stays with the jewelry while it is appraised. Appraisals are prepared in the office or off premises in banks, homes and offices (i.e., law offices, CPA offices, law enforcement agencies). Mr. Trickel is looking forward to meeting all of you and answering any and all questions on this fascinating subject.

It is with great pleasure that Jerry L. Trickel, President of Precious Gem Appraisal Laboratory will be our Special Guest this week. Please plan on joining us to socialize and meet new friends.
