SPRING IS UPON US . . . so come on out and enjoy it!

 

“SAINT ELIGIUS”

SPEAKER, DON BARSI

 

We would like to welcome everyone to our monthly meeting.  It should be an interesting evening for all.  Life Member, Don Barsi has chosen an unusual, but interesting subject for the May meeting.  He will be speaking on “Saint Eligius” patron saint of goldsmiths and black-smiths; saint protector of horse and patron of all equestrian crafts.  Don speaks at many of our local clubs and shows and likes to share the different items he has acquired in his numismatic hunt. 

 

Also, while visiting, meet our new Officers and Board of Directors.  You will meet our youngest club President of San Jose Coin Club ever.  Life Member, Ryan Johnson was just elected President.  Ryan is almost 18 years old and has been active in the club since his parents signed him up at birth.  He is really looking forward to being President of San Jose Coin Club.  A dream of his since he was a child.  Bay area clubs are always talking about bringing young numismatic collectors into the hobby.  Hopefully, with a youthful president, San Jose Coin Club will be the leaders promoting youth in numismatics.  

 

So, bring the entire family and especially the kids, let’s see what Ryan has in surprise for our upcoming general meetings.  We need all of our members helping to vote on a medal design too!  So, come on out vote on our medal and meet our new team!

 

Congratulations to All!
