THE MEETING IS DECEMBER 18th- WEDNESDAY at 6 PM at the

Cafe Bellini

                                             Hello Fellow RECC Members and Past Members,                              

 You and your spouse or important other are cordially invited to our meeting at Cafe Bellini in Petaluma (at the corner of East Washington and S. McDowell Boulevard).


Presentation for this meeting is by club member Victor Ivashin

                                           "Christmas Seals and Stamps, Love at Christmas"


This video PowerPoint presentation will uncover the

history of the first Christmas Seals and show their

use and promotion both in the U.S. and internationally. 

Further will be shown the use of charity stamps along

the same theme lines. Philately can spread love and joy,

especially at Christmas. 


We will be asking members to participate by bringing a wrapped stamp or philatelic related white elephant or new item no more than $10.
There will also be a couple door prizes. Holiday goodies will be provided.

Meetings will be presided by Presidents Sharon Oman and Nancy Jensen.

There will also be a "Show and Tell" where members are allotted  2 to 3  minutes per one or two items.  Please bring something to share, perhaps from WINEPEX .  Ideas may also include "A Stamp Gift", "What I am Searching For", "My Favorite Item" or any other.  We promise to be fascinated!


We continue to seek volunteers for presentations each month. Thank you so much for volunteering!

You may bring items for sale at the meeting as Dan will handle that part of our get-together.  Unsold items go back to the owner. Or you may bring items to the Free table.

Please come as we need you to:

        1.To vote on important meeting details for the coming year.
       2. See what special philatelic item members bring to show and talk about.
       3. Add some stamps, covers, postal history or other items to your collection
       4. Share your talent, skills, experiences and knowledge with our members.

                 Nancy Jensen always graciously mails the agenda,  Thank You Nancy.

It is a good time for us to continue to share our collecting interests in both philately and in other collections.  As collectors we at times don't just limit our instinctive gathering desires to philately.  In each of us dwells the accumulation spirit and we often seek those elusive, mysterious and precious items that warm our hearts.  Perhaps this is your opportunity to present to the attention of the club what you also collect and in doing such we will all experience humor, fascination and wonder.  Please contact Sharon Oman by phone or email to arrange how we post your item in our Member Philately section of this site. 


Our next meeting is December 18th at our usual location.  Our usual meetings feature a meal which can be bought from the restaurant's menu. 

The meeting place is Cafe Bellini in Petaluma.
