Payments We have been advised the bank prefers that checks for sales book purchases to be made out to "Mid Cities Stamp Club" rather than MCSC, etc. As an alternative, you can make checks out to Dave Stockbridge or Gifford Ely, and they will cash the check for deposit in the cash box. Or (preferably), cash.

Mystery Box: Keep in mind that we (always) need donations for our club EXPO Mystery Box.

Club Officer Elections If anyone would like to serve as an officer in the club, this is your chance to participate. President, Vice President (one for each chapter), Secretary, Treasurer, and Board of Directors (3) are all positions that need to be filled. You can let any of the current officers or board members of your interest. Keep in mind, the club doesn’t exist without leadership and direction.

Meet'N'Eat

Ordinarily when we have an in-person meeting, we also have a MEET'N'EAT at an area restaurant, prior to the meeting. The group usually gathers between 5:00 and 5:30 PM, and we try to finish by 6:45 PM.

Meet'N'Eat will be at Grump’s, 3503 South Highway 377, Granbury, beginning round 5:00 P.M.
