Minutes of August 2012 Meeting

Membership and Guests:

Greg was a guest. We currently have 70 paid members.

Announcements:

This meeting was the last chance to buy Golden State raffle tickets.

Old and New Business:

Our current room and meeting night have been reserved at the Costa Mesa Community Center for CY 2013.

Laura continues to maintain our club website. Latest addition includes an announcement for the October CSNA Coin show in Long Beach.

Dan provided additional feedback on the banquet facility at Mile Square Golf Course indicating costs are approximately $24 plus a 19% tip. The facility probably requires around 25 minimum but this is only an estimate on Danʼs part.

A motion was made to purchase Golden States raffle tickets in our clubs name. After much discussion, our members decided that individuals should support both organizations themselves if they were interested and that our club should not speculate on winning prizes.

Donations:

Many club members continue to donate worthy items for our club auctions, and our club really appreciates this continuing generosity.

Meeting Program:

David Schwager presented a very informative talk on the influence of French Design on U.S. Coins. It was interesting to see the similarities on many of our early coins.

Prizes:

Glen won the dos pesos gold and Yvonne won the 1/10th oz gold. Other prize winners were Jocelyn, Les, Jim M, Shep, Albertus, and Big Johnʼs son.
