The Indianapolis Coin Club is a non-profit, educational organization founded in 1939 for the purpose of educating people of all ages in the greater Indianapolis community about the coins theypresently own or may wish to collect. We hold eleven monthly meetings each year (presently at the Marion County Library Service Center at 24th and Meridian Streets) during which variousprograms of an educational nature are held for the benefit of our membership and the general public. All meetings are open to the public and there is no charge for attendance unless a person
wishes to become a member of the club. Adult annual dues are $12.00 per year, junior membership dues are $5.00 per year.

THE MONTHLY PLANCHET

Auction Set for April Meeting
During our April meeting,
we will be having a no-reserve
auction. The event is a “service”
to our members. There is nocharge to either sell or buy offered material. You must be apaid up member to submit items
for the auction. A maximum of
3 lots may be submitted by amember, no reserve is allowed,
but the owner may bid on theitem one time before it is hammered sold. You need not be amember to bid. All lots sold are
COD the night of the auction. If
we have some junior memberspresent, the first 15 to 30 minutes
will be dedicated to a junior auction
only, (only 16 years and younger may
bid during this time). Most items
should be donated by club members
for the junior auction. This does notcount as the regular auction. All lots
may be submitted the night of theauction, by filling out an inventory
sheet and placing it on the table fordisplay and sale. The auction will start
promptly at 7:15 PM. After that time,no items may be submitted. This is agood opportunity to do a little “springcleaning” in your coin collections!

1Issue:Treasurer’s Report
April 2002

From OurPresident

Our coin show is behind us. I believe
we made a profit, but not much. The
reason is we failed to sell enough tickets. Remember, how the Club goes isdetermined by how much effort weput forth.
The first prize of $100 lottery tickets
went to Rena Parlar and was sold by
Richard Kinnett. Second prize went toBob Bennett, and third prize went toPat Dove. The hourly drawings werewon by Jerry Snyder, Charlie Porter,
Jim Mullikin, Bill Bracious, Bruce
Turner and Pat Dove. Thank you to all
who sold tickets. A big thanks to all
the helpers who worked before, during, and after the show helping dealers. You guys are what make our show
a success. The dealers want to havethe show again next year and we planon doing so.
April is auction month. We hope tohave a youth auction at the same
meeting. Why not bring some of thosecoins you have lying around and don't
have a desire for anymore to give a
new person a chance to own them.
You will get only one bid to keep them.
- Jim
