Arlington

JUL 1

The next Arlington meeting for 2026 will be held on Wednesday, July 1, at our new meeting place (see below).

The program will be presented by MCSC Director Peter Elias , on A Review of the Boston 2026 World Expo.

APS Books Dave will bring a new APS circuit plus Club sales books.

Scott Catalogs - Rich Hildebrandt will have the following Scott Catalogs available at the Arlington meeting to check out: 2024 US Specialized, 2025 US Specialized and Vol 3A, 2027 Vols 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B.

NOTE: Arlington Auction, September 2 - lots (or the cover sheets for bulky and heavy items) should be turned in at the next (August) meeting. This allows time to organize and advertise the lots ahead of the September meeting. As usual, you can just give Skip a list of the lots you will bring, but then you will have to number and cut the cover sheet for the sold lots.

Election of Officers: 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 know of your interest. Keep in mind, the club doesn’t exist without leadership and direction.

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.

Meeting

We will meet at our NEW official gathering place: the Trinity Unity Methodist Church, 1200 West Green Oaks Blvd. Our meeting room will be 201 (the Koinonia room, upstairs). The meeting will begin at 6:30 P.M., and end at 8:30 P.M. We have to vacate the facility by 9:00 P.M.

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.

MEET'N'EAT is at Jay Jay Café, 1001 S. Bowen Rd, Arlington, (817) 861-1060, beginning about 5:00 P.M.
