General Information
President Ken Young kicked off the June meeting with 21 attendees, including eight first-time visitors. David Crenshaw led the Pledge of Allegiance, and the evening got exciting with coins and medals given out as door prizes.
|
Tom Clark brought club T-shirts for $10 each, with the club covering the rest of the cost. You can pick up sizes S, M, L, or 2XL at the next meeting, but XL is already sold out.
|
We’re planning a field trip to the Atlanta Federal Reserve Museum on Friday, July 25. Admission is free, but you’ll need a government-issued ID, and no food, drinks, cameras, or phones are allowed inside. Since parking is limited, we’ll drive to Chamblee, take the MARTA train, and grab lunch nearby afterward. Seven members have signed up so far, so contact Ken Young to reserve your spot.
|
We’re looking for a volunteer to serve as the CCCC Historian to track special events and publicity. If you’re interested, reach out to Ken Young or Lou Bluhm.
|
A big thank you to everyone who paid their $15 individual dues or $25 vendor table fee for selling coins at meetings—nearly all members are current.
|
Ricky Dunn gave an engaging presentation about his coin-collecting journey, and we appreciate him sharing his passion.
|
Congratulations to Harrison Bluhm, who earned second place in his age group in the ANA Bill Fivaz YN Literary Contest with his essay on OPA Red and Blue Points. He read his winning essay at the meeting and will receive $200 in coin books and supplies of his choice.
|
New members can get $10 off an ANA membership by talking to Richard Jozefiak.
|
Mark your calendars for the National Money Show in Savannah next spring, and we need volunteers to make it a success. If you helped at the Atlanta show, bring your lucky orange shirt and join us again.
|
The rent for the Bogart Ag Center is paid through September 2025 at $30 a month, and the club can cover future fees, but if you’d like to contribute, talk to Ken Young.
|
Our next meeting will be at the Bogart Ag Center, Building 1, with a “Coin Club” sign to guide you to the right parking area. Lou Bluhm read the previous meeting minutes, which were approved without changes.
|
A sign-up sheet went around for 2025 refreshments and programs. We’re covered through July, but need presentations for August and October, as September is already set. Consider giving a talk or bringing food or drinks.
|
Thanks to Richard Jozefiak for providing food and Rick Kemp for drinks at the June meeting.
|
The 50/50 raffle raised $22, and auction fees and items brought in $10, adding $32 to the club’s funds, leaving us with a balance of $2,059.
|
|
We’re always looking for ways to improve the club, so share your ideas, volunteer, or join us for the field trip. See you at the July meeting!
