All Club Members and Friends: So Long Neil! You will always be in our thoughts!

To All Club Members and Friends,

                It is with great sadness that I must inform all of you that our close friend, Neil Hedin, has passed away.  
The link to his obituary through Rowe Funeral Home is listed below.  

Neil touched my life in so many ways and words cannot express how much I will miss him. 
 I’m sure many of you receiving this email are going to miss his friendship as well.  
He was truly one of the “Good Guys” that you so seldom meet in one’s lifetime!
               
 So Long Neil!  You will always be in our thoughts!

KEN OLSON

We still need more volunteers to work at the Club table for our Coin Show on April 1st.  The time slots are 9:30 to 11:00, 11:00 to 12:00, 12:00 to 1:00, 2:00 to 3:00 and 3:00 to 4:00.  Even though 1 person is already signed up for  the 9:30 to 11:00 shift, it never hurts to have extras, especially in the first few hours when the crowd is the busiest.  Contact me if you can help out.  Attached is a copy of the Coin Show flyer so you have all the info.  Please feel free to forward it on to anyone you know!

The Northern Lakes Coin and Currency Club wishes to invite club members and new guests interested in the hobby to attend the monthly meeting on Monday,  March 20th,  6:30 PM (Note the earlier time) at the YMCA Building at 400 River Road.  In lieu of a meeting and for the benefit of you, the members (and guests), there will be a mini coin & currency show with items for sale so that you can get a preview and first chance to purchase items that will be for sale at our regular Coin Show on April 1st.  Non-members are welcome to attend.  Please tell other people you know about this so we can have a bigger crowd.   For more info, contact Ken Olson244-9299.

If you plan to bring anything to sell, please call me 244-9299 or send me an email reply so I know how much space you need.  Please be to the YMCA before 6:00 if you intend to sell items so we can arrange locations.

Since it is hard to bring enough inventory to satisfy everyone’s “Want Lists”, if you have certain coin, currency or bullion items you are looking for, please contact me 244-9299 or email me and I will let each of the persons who are selling know about your requests.

Thanks!

Numismatic piece that you own, some article you think we might like to see, maybe just a
 coin/currency story you have, possibly a good find you made, or whatever else you might think of.  Some of these Show and Tell meetings have been quite interesting, so try to surprise us.   I will be bringing some counterfeit and real coins to test your powers of 
observation and knowledge.
We will also be having our Club election of officers.  
I would like you to bring ideas for Seminar topics for our future meetings as well.  Start thinking of new topics tonight as to what you would like to learn more about!
