JIM’S PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE
JIM CHALMERS
Hello all! Hope all is well! We are going to open the doors at 6 PM this time as we are having a hot dog supper before we start! Jon will have tickets for anyone who has not purchased them for $10.00. We have a few new sponsors for the club; The Meat Shoppe located at 4725 Dorchester Rd., in Niagara Falls, donated and has quality
meat and sells pet food! Ruffins in Welland is new to us and Ripley's Believe it or Not has also donated! Things are looking up! This month we have Hayden Pounder as
our speaker on collecting in Ghana will be very interesting! On another note, Tom Hiller has stepped down as First Vice President. Tom has held that position and more
throughout his 25 years as a member. I would like to thank him for all his service and endless support in making this club what it is today. He will still be a member so I
know where he will be in case, we need his expertise. Congrats Tom, it’s been a pleasure working with you! The final note is about the upcoming convention at the
Burlington Holiday Inn. If you have never been to one now is the time to book a spot. They are very informative and the auction and contacts you will make are second to
none. The dates are Friday November 14 to Sunday November 16/2025 Book early
and save a few dollars! That's all for now. Hope to see all who can attend.
Hope to see all who can attend.
