Missing Scott Catalogs: we are missing the 2023 1B Scott catalog. There are no sign out cards for this volume. If you have it, please contact Rich Hildebrandt (richhilde@hotmail.com) or Skip Ely so we can get them ready for the mail auction in October.

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

November Arlington Meeting Cancelled. Since the November Arlington meeting would occur the day before EXPO set-up, it has been decided to cancel the November Arlington meeting. Catalog winners will be announced prior to EXPO, and the catalogs will be available at EXPO. The Annual Meeting, which is normally held in November, will be postponed until December.

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 5:15 and 5:30 pm, and we try to finish by 6:45 pm.

This month there will be no MEET'N'EAT due to this being our Annual Club Picnic at the Bob Duncan Community Center. Details above.
