Presentation: When John proposed a topic like Military Slot Machine tokens, I thought he was up to gambling the night away. I should have asked him about the amount of time people would have to gamble at the machines. Were there multiple machines at a site? What does it say that this was popular in his time in the military and not other times like Korea or Desert Storm. Thank you John for the presentation.

President’s Message: We’ve had a great run of presentations! Thanks John for your presentation on military tokens. Let’s keep them coming. Sharing your interest and educating our membership is much appreciated. We are investigating moving our Christmas Party to a new location. Thanks to Marcia for looking into alternative locations to give us more room. Keep sending me your Wants to Buy/Sell for the Trade List. It seems to have created some happy collectors. Happy Collecting!

Wednesday July 09, 2025, 7:00pm, (can arrive at 6:30)

Mint News: The mint is stepping up the advertising for the Sesquicentennial. There will be several opportunities for collecting postage and coin items that are produced for the Sesquicentennial. I saw a mention of a coin to commemorate women’s roles in the declaration of independence. Be sure to follow the US Mint Facebook page to stay on top of what is being released.
