A Society of students of philately specializing in a large spectrum of subjects.
President’s Message September 2023
Where has summer gone? It seems like yesterday it just started and now it is all but over. Perhaps it is time to downsize one’s collection, or at least get things written up and put away. Maybe set new goals or volunteer for an organization I belong to. My bucket list seems to grow faster than the items I have crossed off. The older I get the faster the days go, and it is time to stop procrastinating. What about you?
Regards,
Bob
