January 21st, 2018

The January meeting of the Fostoria Coin Club was called to order at 7:30 pm by President Gary Moran with 18 members present. Gary led the membership with the Pledge of Allegiance. After the reading of December’s minutes and one correction, Gary declared them approved. Vincent Gaietto read the Treasurer’s report which was approved by the membership.

Old Business:

  1. Treasurer Gaietto is accepting dues for 2019. He has a “Member Information Sheet” that he is requesting each member fill out for current contact information. All members including Life Members should return this form ASAP to Vincent.

  2. January Minutes Correction: Chuck reminded the club that this is the last year he will be “Show Chairman” He indicated that it would be best if the new chairman was in place by end of January as this is when he reserves the hall (Stacey’s Place) for the following year. Chuck will help walk the new chairman through the simple steps. Please volunteer.

New Business:

  1. Club motioned that future Club Meetings will be cancelled in the event Seneca County is under a Level 2 Emergency, this motion was approved.

  2. Secretary was asked to provide list of lifetime members and to update contact information sheet.

  3. Roy Zinn Provided Secretary with what appears to be a “lifetime supply of stamps” for the mailed newsletters.

  4. Long time Charter member Mervin Rose of Port Clinton passed away January 17th at the age of 97.

Show Business:

  1. Chuck still has 4 open slots for volunteers to work the doors.

  2. Set up for show will be at 6:00 am on Sunday Morning of show.

  3. Gloria Wolf volunteered to replace Bruce Hanny and has been helping with publicity duties for the show.

  4. Club motioned that the 2020 show will be held on Sunday March 22nd, this motion was approved. Chuck will be paying dues to Stacy’s Place for that show at the end of this month.


The meeting was then adjourned. Door Prize Winners were Harry Cobin, Bruce Hanny, and Denny Hall. Joe Dohanos then conducted a 23 lot auction. Happy Belated Birthday Gloria Wolf!
