"WHAT'S IN BOX, II"
Our own club member Stan Turrini will be giving
another one of his very entertaining evening
presentations that involve the contents of a mysterious
box which Stan brings in. The contents of the box are
always a mystery and to the delight of the audience
Stan always proves to be an entertaining speaker.
In the first such presentation from Stan he dressed
in full costume as "Wesley the Squirrel", an outfit that
was key entertainment at the recent San Francisco
based WestPex stamp show.
This evening is not to be missed.... so please attend!
Thank you Stan Turrini for your presentation!
