A Few Words From Your Pr esident

Greetings,It?s the middle of October, the days have been sunny and mild, and it is time to stretch
our numismatic wings. I hope that everyone has remained safe, healthy, and active
during the COVID-19 pandemic. I would like to solicit anyone that wishes to be a Club
Officer or Board member to please let me know and we will make your wishes known!
We are always looking for people to fill Officer positions for the club. The president,vice-president, secretary, treasurer, sergeant-at-arms and editor shall be electedannually.
The Indiana State Numismatic Association (ISNA) show is a go for December 2-4,2021. Please volunteer to sit at the ICC table in December at the ISNA show topromote the Club and hand out related informational materials. A sign-up sheet isavailable both this month and in November for all of those wanting to participate.

PLEASE try to have correct change, or at least use
smaller bills, to pay for auction items that you win.
Especially troublesome are $50's and $100's whichquickly drain the change that is available. That change ispersonal money, and it will be greatly appreciated by thechanger and auction assistants to make giving changeeasier and more efficient.
