| EDITION 617 - 04/21/2026 |
| There will not be a program this Saturday at the library. |
| I have been asked why I did not include the St. Cloud Show in the Nooze which happened over the weekend. It has been a fun show that I attended in the past and I hope those that went enjoyed it this year. The simple explanation is that I had not been informed of it. I knew it was planned, but I did not get a notice as to when. I can only list what I know. |
| My cover this week is a very messy cover that the post office made numerous attempts to deliver to The World's Fair Tour Association in 1904. It was eventually returned to the sender in Cowgill, Missouri. There was a letter with this. It was about the sale of 27 tickets. |

| To sign up for the Toozeday Nooze go to our website at NORPS.org, there you will find a link for the Toozeday Nooze and on the event page where you can sign up to receive the Nooze every week and keep up on events and programs at the library as well as happenings with the local stamp clubs and shows. I have been told this does not work with some phones but should be accessible from your computer. You do not need to be a member of the library to receive this, but I encourage you to do so. We are run and organized 100% by volunteers and your donations keep the doors open and the lights on. |
