decisions and keep our country safe and free.

congressmen.  We may not seem
to be accomplishing anything at
times, but we are at least slowing
things down. We need to be
vigilant, protecting our rights as
hobby collectors. We have to be
active in this or we will lose our
ability to collect and pursue our
hobby.  

We'll will post names and numbers
for our Congress folks, so you'll
be able to bug em'.

HELPING OTHERS
The club participates in the NFMS
stamp program, saving large
commemoratives, airmail, pre-
canceled, foreign and “ordinary”
stamps of all values. Members are
encouraged to use and save
commemorative stamps. The money
generated from the sale of these
used (cancelled) stamps is then
donated to Cancer Research. The
collected stamps can be sent to the
Stamps Chairman, or brought to a
meeting and given to our Fed
Chairperson, Kathi Milem.
Next Organizational Meeting for helping with the Show is
