A Few Words From Your Pr esident
by Sharon Bower
Greetings, Numismatists!
First I would like to thank everyone who participated in Exhibit night. There was a lot
to see and learn about. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule toput a display together. Elections are coming up and if you are interested in becoming
a board member or officer please let us know this month. It?s the middle of October,the weather has not made up its mind yet on to be nice and warm or cold, but it istime to stretch our numismatic wings.

Exhibit Night
Our September meeting featured one of my favorite events of the year, exhibit
night. We had many exceptional exhibits this year. I know that I had a tough time
deciding who to vote for. Below are a few examples of this years entries.

Donn Wray outdid himself this year. Our prizes for the exhibitors were both
high quality and diverse.
