The club has decided to continue meeting at Suntree Village for the entire year, not taking a summer break. Most meetings have been well-attended! A couple of meeting were postponed a week or two due to weather (January) or travel to other events (March). Otherwise, the 2nd Tuesday remains the scheduled date.

The November 12, 2024, club meeting at Suntree Village included show-and-tell (with photography available), the usual raffle and auction, and a special small consignment of items including the 1991 1/10-ounce U.S. Gold Eagle shown above. The meeting was again well-attended.

The October 8, 2024, club meeting at Suntree Village included a report on the PNNA fall coin show, as well as Eric’s interesting trip to Park City, Utah. The meeting was well-attended, with 20 members and guests.

The September 10, 2024, club meeting at Suntree Village included an expanded show-and-tell (with photography available), an expanded (and busy!) auction, and the usual raffle. The 1871 California Gold (privately issued) 1/4 Dollar piece (above) was one of the items shown by a club member. Yes, it’s a real one!

The August 13, 2024, club meeting at Suntree Village included refreshments, a raffle, and a program on “Olympic Participation Medals of the Summer Games” given by Eric, who will check to see if there were any participation medals from the just-completed Paris Olympics, and then post the program online.
