Arlington

OCT 7

The next Arlington meeting for 2026 will be held on Wednesday, October 7, at our new meeting place (see below). NOTE: Our meeting room has changed to Room 208 upstairs. This room is to the left of our previous room and is slightly larger (thanks to Ken A. for arranging this).

The program will be presented by MCSC member Geoff Owens, on France Libre: The Stamps of Free France, the Free French Colonies, and Free French Forces.

APS Books will be brought by Dave and made available at the meeting, as well as a few Club books.

Club Officer Elections - You can turn in club officer election ballots to Skip at this meeting (Janet will be absent). Please enclose them in a sealed envelope.

Scott Catalog Sale - Rick will bring the club's Scott 2025 Catalogs and make them available for inspection. The catalogs will be the subject of a club mail auction later this month.

Library Club library items are available for checkout. View the list of MCSC Library Items. See Skip or Rick if interested in checking out an item or two.

Mystic catalogs are needed for the Beginners table at Expo. Skip Ely advises that they make excellent instructional guides for beginning collectors.
