Strawberries & Ice Cream!

There are some great reasons to attend the June club meeting at the Brandywine Hundred library on June 9th...

Rarities of the Stamp World
Fifty of the Greatest Philatelic Rarities

Some of our club's best programs are presented when our illustrious Program Chair is unable to schedule an outside speaker. June will be one of those fortunate occasions when he himself, Bob Swed, will provide the program on a topic of interest to both members and guests -"Rarities of the Stamp World"

Plus - Strawberries and Ice Cream!

And an added special treat to get you over the summer hump -

Some unexpected giveaways!
