Minutes of June and July, 2013 Meetings

Membership and Guests: We currently have 81members paid for CY 2013. A special

welcome to all our new members.

Announcements: Our August meeting is the last opportunity to buy NASC gold

coin raffle tickets for a drawing on 8/25. Jeff has extended his very attractive offer of

10 tickets for $20 . NOTE: BLISS, DAN AND BIG JOHN NEED TO TURN IN THEIR

TICKETS TO JEFF. (You canʼt win if your tickets arenʼt in the drawing!)

Old and New Business: One committee meeting was held on our by-laws during the

July Bourse night. New committee members have several good ideas to simplify and

improve the by-laws. Laura and David Schwager continue to maintain our club website

<www.occoinclub.com> and we thank them for their continued support. David has been

supporting Laura behind the scenes and has volunteered to eventually assume

full responsibility for maintenance of our site. Send him your ideas on what you

would like to see on our site.

Donations: Our members continue to be very generous and it is appreciated.

Meeting Program: Brad Yonaka presented an extremely interesting and informative

talk on “Coinage of Ethopia”. As usual, Brad did a nice job presenting the history of

Ethopia and how it affected coins of that country. Our July Bourse night was very

successful with members supporting our 12 tables with brisk sales, a “win-win” for

everyone .

Prizes: Ron Stone won the DOS PESOS gold at the June meeting drawing.
