There were 82 members and visitors present.
Prior to starting the meeting, there was a lot of activity taking place with trading, buying, selling, and free appraisals. We encourage all members to bring in their duplicate stamps, extra coins, paper money, etc., for sharing with our membership.
President Dave R. started the meeting at 6:00 PM and it took almost five minutes for the large crowd to take their seats.
Dave R. welcomed everyone to the meeting and introduced all of the first time guests.
The report for our 9th annual Stamp, Coin and Collectable’s show was given by Dave R. Our club had another very successful show and we look forward to another show next year on Saturday March 1, 2014, at the Elk’s Lodge on Old Kings Road North. Dave is planning some great surprises for our 10th show.
Thank you to all the members for the help that was given to make our 9th show a great success.
