FOSTORIA COIN CLUB

 

            The Fostoria Coin Club met on Monday, January 18, 2010, at Key Bank on West Tiffin Street in Fostoria.  The meeting was called to order by the new president, Tom Weisenburger.  He welcomed the 26 members and 2 visitors.  The visitors were Roger Keefe, Arcadia, and George Welly, Fostoria.  They were given the first reading for membership.

 

            Old Business:  Bourse chairman, Phil Warrington, told that he has received money for 29 tables at our coin show March 28th.  He still has around 12 tables available to reserve to coin dealers.  Otto Blackburn brought in the raffle ticket drum that the club ordered in Dec.  Total cost was $135.  Otto also said that the UAW Hall is available for our show this year but is “iffy” for 2011.  The total cost to rent the UAW Hall this year is $800 which is an increase of $200 from 2009.  Judy Burk reported on the progress of advertising for our show.  Randy Burk brought to the member’s attention a misprint on the raffle tickets.  The ticket should read 15 tickets for $10 rather than 10 tickets for $15.  Chuck Brandeberry said he is willing to chair the member’s sale table at the show again.  Members should start planning on what coins they wish to put up for sale at the show.

 

            Meeting was adjourned by Denny Hall and Gary Moran.  Phil Warrington conducted a 24 lot auction.  The junior door prize was won by James Haas and the senior door prize was won by Otto Blackburn.  The next meeting will be Feb. 15, 7:30 p.m. at the Key Bank on West Tiffin Street.
