Happy Lunar New Year everyone!
Our Coins, Stamps and Collectables Show on January 26th turned out to be a success with attendance up, some good feedback, all of our tables booked, and a small “profit” for our non-profit club. If we have a profit at year end, we donate it to support local charities such as the BC Children’s Hospital, the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, and the Union Gospel Mission.
The next North Shore Numismatic Society Meeting is on Tuesday, February 19th. The meeting is held in the Multipurpose Room in the Bonsor 55+ Senior Centre in Burnaby. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the meeting start at 7:00 pm. The meeting is open to both members and non-members, so everyone is welcome.
Program: Michael Souza will present a PowerPoint entitled “Guess the Country – Quiz #13”. He will provide with one side of a coin or banknote and a multiple choice of three countries. All you have to do is select which country issued the coin or banknote. Simple, right? Mike will provide pencils and papers.
Please don’t forget to bring your floor submissions for the auction and bring small change to facilitate your purchases. Due to time constraints, please limit your submissions to five items.
