It is a good time for us to continue to share our collecting interests in both philately and in other collections. As collectors we at times don't just limit our instinctive gathering desires to philately. In each of us dwells the accumulation spirit and we often seek those elusive, mysterious and precious items that warm our hearts. Perhaps this is your opportunity to present to the attention of the club what you also collect and in doing such we will all experience humor, fascination and wonder. Please contact Dennis Buss or Victor Ivashin by phone or email to arrange how we post your item in our Member Philately section of this site. Thank
you One and All for sending something along.
