| The German Philatelic Society has changed their meeting location. |
| It's not too early to let me know about schedule changes for July. I know in the past several clubs have held their meetings at EXPO instead of their regular meeting times and locations. So far, I have heard from the GPS. Please do not assume that I know of your changes, even if I am a member of your club. There is a lot going on in July, and if I do not receive your notices, it is very likely that they will not make it into the schedule. All four weeks of the Nooze are probably going to be prepared at one time and scheduled for posting on their respective dates. You may send your changes to me at pjflaherty58@gmail.com |
| My cover this week was sent from Beloit, Wisconsin on August 26, 1907, to Scotland. The rate was five cents and Scott #330 was used. It has a nice flag cancel. This was the proper rate, but the stamp used is somewhat unusual for surface mail to a foreign destination. More common stamps were typically used. |

| If you have anything that you want shared let me know at pjflaherty58@gmail.com |
