Redwood Empire Collectors Club

Our next meeting is April 17th at our usual location.  Our usual meetings feature a meal which can be bought from the restaurant's menu. 

The meeting place is Cafe Bellini in Petaluma.

     At a recent meeting Michael S. Turrini presented our

then President Dennis Buss with the coveted "My Hero"Award. 

This rarely given honor has been bestowed to those persons

that with their dedication and character have impressed

Michael to so be acknowledged. Our thanks to Michael for

his gracious presentation.

THE MEETING IS APRIL 17th- WEDNESDAY at 6:00 PM at the Cafe Bellini

                                      Hello Fellow RECC Members and Past Members,                              

 You and your spouse or important other are cordially invited to our meeting at Cafe Bellini in Petaluma (at the corner of East Washington and S. McDowell Boulevard).

   

Presentation :      "Dressing Up a Stamp Collection with Picture Postcards"

This evening our past president Dennis Buss will be using

his colorful collection of Ceylon stamps (up to 1972)

as an example of how the stamps and postcards can be

related to themes and topics suggested by the country's

stamps.  This is a simple way to add interest and

attractiveness to a stamp collection.  Dennis has been

active for many years within RECC and comes with

both knowledge and experience in many forms.  He has exhibited his philatelic collections and has won awards for his mastery of our philatelic hobby.  In this presentation he will demonstrate unique ways tp bring further interest into what a person may already have or can easily acquire.  We welcome Dennis and thank him for the presentation.... please come as you will surely enjoy the evening!

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 Sharon Oman 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.
