Arlington

APR 1

The next Arlington meeting for 2025 will be held on Wednesday, April 1, at our new meeting place (see below).

The program will be our Semi-Annual Auction. Bidders will be provided with auction paddles. We have 60 lots. View the list of Arlington Auction Lots.

Time limitations cause us to suspend most of the normal Business items and the Show and Tell portion of the meeting. Tables and chairs need to be set up, auction lots displayed, and time allowed for review. Then we will have a few short announcements, award gift cards, and go directly to the auction. There will not be time or space for extraneous sales items members sometimes bring to the meetings. Save them for next time. The meeting will likely begin some time after the scheduled 6:30 pm start.

APS Books will be available at the meeting.

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 will be at at the church, beginning at 5:00 P.M. From the south entrance, this will be in the Fellowship Hall (gym), and the cost will be $8. The menu is sautéed chicken breast, Roma tomatoes with basil and feta cheese relish, rice pilaf, roasted carrots, salad and cake (the last two items are updated from previous meeting notices).
