The meeting place is Cafe Bellini in Petaluma.
THE MEETING IS NOVEMBER 20th- WEDNESDAY at 6 PM at the
Cafe Bellini
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 for this meeting is by club member Victor Ivashin
"Unusual Philatelic Surprises"
In this presentation Victor will present
examples of stamps and postal items that
have unusual and in some cases unique
characteristics, some used as postage
and others for just plain fun. This will be
a video presentation using Power-Point.
You will be surprised at the way stamps have been used to entertain, promote, advertise, complain and have unusual and in some cases deviant purposes. Come see for yourself the dark corners of our hobby!
We will be voting on the Slate of Officers for 2025.
We are pleased to announce the nominees for the RECC Board next year:

There will also be a "Show and Tell" where members are allotted 2 to 3 minutes per one or two items. Please bring something to share, perhaps from WINEPEX . Ideas may also include "A Stamp Gift", "What I am Searching For", "My Favorite Item" or any other. We promise to be fascinated!
We continue to seek volunteers for presentations each month. Thank you so much for volunteering!
You may bring items for sale at the meeting as Dan will handle that part of our get-together. Unsold items go back to the owner. Or you may bring items to the Free table.

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 by phone or email to arrange how we post your item in our Member Philately section of this site.
