NEXT CLUB MEETING is August 21st
Our August Meeting will have multiple presentations by club members
Redwood Empire Collectors Club
"What we collect besides stamps - a Variety Presentation!"
We all know that stamps are at the core of our collection interests but we also are a group of collectors in general. As such at this meeting we will be featuring many show-and-tell presentations of what members ALSO collect. All are invited to bring to the meeting an example of something dear other than of a philatelic nature. Of course if you collect only philatelic material that also would be of interest. Each talk should be of about 5 to 10 minutes in length. At this meeting our meal will be a buffet of major and festive variety prepared in Hispanic style by the cooks at the Boulevard Cafe. This will be FUN and different!
Thank you RECC Club Members for your presentations!
WINEPEX 2019 IS ON SCHEDULE AND ON ITS WAY!
THIS WILL BE AN EXCITING SHOW- OCT 4th-OCT 6th -2019
Stephen Tedesco - Vice President of RECC and WinePex Exhibit Chair
"It is my pleasure to recently become the Vice President of RECC and to further be your
Exhibit Chair for this year's WinePex Stamp Show. I have been in philately for most of my
life and knowing the pleasure and pride that comes from exhibiting at stamp shows I sincerely wish your participation either as exhibitor, attendee or both. Single frame exhibits permit very specialized displays and having won "Single Frame Champion of Champions" with one of mine I can truly say there is no limit with what is possible. My very first exhibit was at WinePex!
