Dear Members and Friends of the Fort Orange Stamp Club:
From President Mike Krug and the other officers of the Fort Orange Stamp Club , welcome to another year at the Club.
A copy of the schedule of programs for the 2023-2024 season is posted below. I hope you will find many topics of interest and plan to attend as many of the programs as possible.
The program at our first meeting on Tuesday, September 12th, is titled " Single Page Night". This is a member participation event where you are encouraged to bring a single item and very briefly discuss why it's interesting to you. Participation is not mandatory, but please consider joining in.
All of our meetings during the new year will be in the large downstairs assembly hall (of the Bethany Reformed Church , 760 New Scotland Ave. Albany NY 12208 ) where we have traditionally held our auctions.
This year, the Club Will feature three Members' auctions In November 2023 and February and May 2024. A Member's Bourse will be held in July 2024 and APS circuit books will be available for purchasing items for your collection at every meeting also we will sponsor two semiannual stamp shows during the year on October 15th 2023 and April 21st 2024. Both shows will be held at the American Legion Hall at 4 Everett Road Extension , Albany NY 12205
Thank you to all FOSC members who assisted with putting the program together, and to all the speakers who agreed to share their knowledge and enthusiasm by providing a program about one of their chosen philatelic fields.
.
I urge all members to make the most of their membership in the Fort Orange Stamp Club by attending meetings and participating in all activities.
See you on September 12th!
Our Treasurer, DaveVail will be collecting annual dues, which are unchanged at $10. Come at 7pm and greet your fellow members. The meeting will be at 7:30pm and will be followed by the program.
