Get ready! It's time for our annual
JUNK AUCTION
with the proceeds to be split between worthy charities, including the Livonia Senior Center, and us. Bring your worthy castoffs - particularly numismatic castoffs - to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. (Baked goods and frozen fresh-caught fish have been popular in the past.)
 
In May, we enjoyed Tom Klunzinger's informative talk about tokens and medals. Looking ahead, our Movie Day will be a Saturday matinee, July 10, at the Redford Theatre, 17360 Lahser, to see Rear Window, dutch-treat dinner after; Members are free, guests $4.
 
Our Picnic will be Tuesday, August 10, at Summit Park in Canton as last year, 5:30; catered meal, Members $5, guests $10, with games and coin prizes. Sign up for both at thismeeting - we hope to have you with us!

 

 

NORTHWEST DETROIT COIN CLUB (nwdcc.org)
Next Meeting - Tuesday, May 25, 2010
Livonia Senior Center - 7:30 pm
 
A good time was had by all at our Mini-Bourse on May 11, with many fine items on offer and much numismatic activity - we'll probably do this again in the fall.
 
At this meeting, the main attraction will be a talk on "Tokens and Medals 101" presented by the Vice President of the Michigan Token & Medal Society which is hosting a banquet in November in honor of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the national Token & Medal Society at an MSNS Show in Detroit. Feel free to bring those "worthless" items of exonumia you may have lying about - you might be surprised!
 
As usual, we'll have our fresh-baked donuts, congenial beverages, many good door and silver prizes, our pick-and-choose Auction and lots of fellowship - we hope to have you with us!
