Celebrating 80 years in NYC

The Scandinavian Collectors Club (SCC) celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2015. To mark the occasion, the SCC welcomes members and the public to join them at the ASDA Fall National Postage Stamp Show at the New York Hilton Midtown, 1335 Avenue of the Americas (6th Avenue between 53rd and 54th streets).

Regional members will host a society table at the meeting. Members attending the show may
choose a complimentary handbook translation from the Scandinavian Philatelic Foundation inventory recently acquired by the SCC. Copies of the Club's award-winning quarterly journal, "The Postern," as well as membership applications, will also be available.

Alan Warren, SCC Secretary, will deliver "Scandinavian Philately: 80 Years of the Scandinavian
Collectors Club" at 3:00 P.M. on Saturday, October 24.
Following his presentation, there will be a meet-and-greet gathering. Both the presentation and the meeting are open to the public.

Founded in 1935 as "The Finnish-American Stamp Club," the society changed its name in 1942 to the "Scandinavian Collectors Club of New York" with membership categories for residents and non-residents. In 1959, members voted for a single membership class and to change the name again to the present "Scandinavian Collectors Club."

Additional information on these events and membership is available at www.scc-online.org; from SCC, Box 16213, St. Paul, MN 55116; or from New York SCC member Hugh Galford: hgalford@verizon.net
