ABM's Legacy of Stamp Collecting and an Opportunity
ABM’s fundraising through stamps goes back to 1920. In September 1920 the ABM Review published the news that a Mr H.G. Simpson, a teacher on Thursday Island, had volunteered to coordinate the sale of new and used postage stamps for ABM. By December 1928 he had raised almost $30,000 in today’s money.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Stamp Coordinator role and have been proud to contribute to its century-old legacy, but it’s now time for me to put down my stamp tweezers and magnifying glass and let someone else take over this stimulating role and continue leading the ABM stamp collecting tradition.
If you are interested in taking over this interesting role, please contact the Chair of The Archbishop’s ABM Committee for our Diocese, The Rev’d Danni Clark via revdanniclark@gmail.com.
Editor’s note: To celebrate 175 years of the Anglican Board of Mission, the Archbishop’s ABM Committee for our Diocese is hosting a fundraising gala dinner at St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School on Thursday, 26 September, at 6pm. Register online or via email at info@abmission.org.au to secure your ticket. RSVP by Friday, 12 September
