Today’s meeting was a great success. It was like having a mini stamp and coin show.
A lot of our members brought items in for all of us to buy and sell.
Everyone had a lot of interesting things.
We had 74 members and guests come through our doors to have a great time.
Our club signed up member # 195. We welcome Mr. Stan and a very Happy Birthday to you.
Long time members whom we have not seen for a long time, Shirley S. Paul N. and the Keating family.
Welcome back, it was very good to see all of you at our meeting.
David R. had a lot of fun walking around with our new mobile microphone. Thanks Bob K. for making this possible.
Dave R. put on a short DVD presentation on old postal Valentine Cards. Dave finally figured out how to set up and operate the Projector and Lap top. Way to go Dave. Next meeting Dave hopes to learn how to turn on a cell phone!
Mr. Jim Davis, Postmaster of Palm Coast, was our headline speaker. Jim gave a very informative talk on what is going on at the post office and why the post office is experiencing financial difficulties. Jim was presented a certificate of appreciation along with our club pin and mug for his efforts in helping our club with materials for our annual show.
Our 9th Annual Stamp and Coin Club is moving to the first Saturday in March. This will be on March 2, 2013 and will now be held at the Elks Lodge, 53 Old Kings Road, Palm Coast, Fl 32137. The time of the show will be extended by one hour. Set up is from 8:00 AM till 10:00 AM and the doors will open at 10:00 AM and will run till 4:00 PM. This move will provide additional space for members and dealers for our growing show.

Our club has already sold 15 tables and the Post Office has already reserved a table.

Back by popular demand is our 2nd semi-annual Collectable’s Auction at our March Meeting. Along with our regular auction of stamps and coins all of our members can bring in any collectable item for this auction.
Let’s have a lot of fun with this. Our first Collectable’s Auction was a great success. Let’s make this one even better.
We thank everyone for making this club a great success.
Dave and Silvia R.
