Announcements:

To continue on the trend of inviting exciting new guest speakers to our monthly meeting, we are thrilled to announce that our guest speaker for October's meeting is Senior Numismatist from Stacks Bowers—Ben Orooji!

Due to ongoing measures in place as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our club will not be meeting in-person until it is advisable to do so. It is still unclear when the time will come where we'll be able to meet in the way we're used to, but until then we will continue to host our club meetings virtually for those interested in participating.

Our virtual club meeting will take place on the same day and time that we usually meet; every 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7pm. Our next meeting is this upcoming Wednesday, October 14, 2020. Instructions for how to join the virtual meeting can be found below in the "How To Join The Meeting" section.

We will continue to include Show & Tell in our monthly virtual meetings. If you'd like to share something during this part of our meeting, please send me your images and what you'd like to talk about ahead of time. You can respond directly to this email and I will receive it.
