The tickets are $1 each. Each booklet has 11 tickets. The eleventh ticket is yours for helping with the fund raiser. Return the ticket stubs and a $10 donation at the August 8, September 12, or October 10 meetings or at the Coin Show October 13th and 14th. Make checks payable to Tidewater Coin Club, Inc. If additional booklets are needed, call Paul A. (see paper newsletter for number) or see him at a meeting.
For the program this month, Denny M. will display his coin press and new dies for the 2007 commemorative. This is always a fun and special effort by Denny to make dies and bring all the materials to show the coining process. September's program will be a lecture by Robert M. titled "Currency of Latin America". October's program will be a lecture by Denny M. on "Military Payment Certificates". November's program will be an auction of 75 items. December's meeting will be the annual Holiday Party. Any member who would like to present a program, give a lecture, or has suggestions for programs, see Fran R.
