President Dave R. opened the meeting at 6:03 PM.
Prior to the meeting our members gave free appraisals for stamps, coins, silver, and gold. A tremendous variety of items were looked at by our members.
Most of the visitors came as a result of the Flagler County Home Show held Sat. and Sunday and the tables our club manned. I thank every one who came out to help.
Our club set two new records for our 1-28-2013 meeting. We had 107 members and visitors in attendance and we had 7 new members join.
None of this would be possible without the help of all our members. When you see a new member please go up to them, introduce yourself, make them all feel at home, and ask what you can do to help them.
Our guest speaker Marion Poole from the Easter Seal Foundation gave a talk on free phones for the hearing impaired. Several members took advantage of this free service.
Dave R. spoke about our upcoming show on March 2nd. A tremendous amount of advertising has been sent out. We have ads in Coin World, Linn’s Stamp news 8 different newspapers, television and radio spots. We expect a large turn out for our show at our new location at the Elk’s Lodge 53 Old Kings Road North, PalmCoast. FL. Our show runs from 10:00 AM till 4:00 PM.
The Elk’s lodge will provide a great lunch menu for all to enjoy.
We ask all members to wear your club shirts and visit our show. We still need members to walk around and help our dealers/members bring in their items between 8:00AM and 10:00 AM. There will be free Danish and coffee for all members and dealers (while supply lasts) in the morning. We also need some members in the afternoon to help our dealers/members pack up at 4:00 PM.
We thank everyone who brought items in for our Treasure Box.
