59 members and guests were in attendance
By 5 p.m. we had a pretty good turn out of some early birds.This is a great time to buy, share, trade and sell your stamp and coin items before the meeting starts.
Once again the VFW cooked hamburgers, hot dogs and all the fixings.. The drinks from the Bar are excellent.
Quite a few of our members brought in their treasures to sell and trade. All of our members are encouraged to come and do the same ..
We also had a gentleman and his wife selling their old mint stamps at face value. This was a big hit for our members. They told us that they will return at the July meeting on the 25th with the rest of their holdings.
At 6 p.m. President David Rosenthal called the meeting to order.
There were 59 members and visitors present.
