Toozeday Nooze

Toozeday Nooze
EDITION 575 - 07/01/2025

Minnesota Stamp EXPO is this month running three days, July 18th through the 20th. This is an official APS World Series of Philately show complete with exhibits, programs and an auction and lots more to enjoy.
Our areas largest show of the year impacts the library schedule as well as that of many of the local stamp clubs.
The library's monthly board meeting will be held on Saturday at the EXPO at 11:00 AM.
The Second Sunday Show will not be held this month.
The Twin City Philatelic Society's second meeting will be held Thursday the 17th assisting setting up EXPO.
The Lake Minnetonka club and the Maplewood club are also sponsors of the show. I know that the Maplewood Stamp club will still have its regular meeting this month. I did not hear from the Minnetonka stamp club at the time this was prepared, so I assumed they are still meeting at the regular time and place. If this is incorrect I will post the correction in next week's Nooze if I find out in time.
If you are not sure if your club's schedule has been changed due to the show, please check with your club. If I have listed anything in error send me an email as soon as you are able. I am also getting ready for the show and last minute notices may not make it in time for an update.
It takes a lot of volunteers to help the Minnesota Stamp Dealers Association pull off a three day show and it brings in dealers from all over the country. This is your chance to see and purchase new material.
I hope to post what this month's program at the library will be soon.
Have a great 4th of July.
My cover this week is a Special Delivery cover cancelled on July 4, 1893. The stamp is an E2.
