It is hard to believe that 2025 is almost history. This is a good time to pay your 2026 Garfield Perry Stamp Club dues. Active member dues are $15. The club newsletter will be emailed to you. Printed newsletter is an additional $10 per year.
Please send your payment to Garfield Perry Stamp Club, Inc., c/o Kenneth Nilsestuen, 1000 Kingswood Dr., Akron, Ohio 44313-5921. Include your email.
Know that our Holiday Dinner is set for 6 p.m., December 1 at D’Angelo’s Italian Ristorante, 7995 Darrow Rd., Twinsburg. The price is $40 per person, the same as last year. The food is always delicious. Please send your check to Ken at the address shown above by Nov. 24.
Introduce a friend to our wonderful and interesting club by bringing them to a meeting, as some members have been doing recently. It is more fun to collect when you have other similarly minded people to talk with. We all learn from each other.
Be sure you mark your calendar, complete an exhibit and/or draft a want list for our upcoming March Party 2026, March 13–15. Our 136th consecutive annual show is sure to be one of the finest in the United States. This is not just my thought, but it is what I hear from collectors and dealers around the country.
For this, I thank all our officers, volunteers and members who work so hard each year to maintain the high quality and standards of March Party.
Linda and I wish all of you Happy Holidays and a happy, healthy New Year 2026.
Philatelically yours,
Howard S. Chapman
