Here are our new officers for the 2003/2004 term Posted 2/13/2003 ---------An announcement from your webmaster--------- The Pictures many of you saw me taking are now on the web. Due to the different light conditions in the various rooms and my very humble photographic talents, Many excellent displays and figures I was not able to photograph successfully. Therefore These are not necessarily representative of the best items on display in the show or on any given table. We are in the process of preparing captions and adding a few more pictures to the photo gallery. If you were a vendor at our show and have personal pictures of your display in digital form please send them to us so that we can do your work justice on this page.(that means you to our friends from "Beau Geste" and "GI Joe Club"). Also I was not able to complete my goal of photographing every table and every one at every table. There were too many fine displays and too many friendly people I wanted to meet so unfortunately I missed a few. In my rounds. So if I missed you please send me photos too. Also I will be updating the Links page to include all of the vendors from our show. If you had a table at our show and have a website send me the Link and I will gladly fit you in.

Laz Posted 1/22/2003 ---------An announcement from our Treasurer--------- A few members have not "reuppped" for 2003 calendar year dues as yet. We were 43 paid members for 2002. We lost 2 valued members who passed away. So we stand at 41 paid members for 2002. so far 27 have reupped for 2003.. 14 have not as yet. It would be great if the Club can get all 14 to come aboard again. The Club has so many advantages and privileges of membership that even if NO meetings are attended , the gratification factor is still very present in many ways. At any rate--- it is a great club with a outstanding membership and now in our 16th year of continuous operation. It would be remiss not to mention our founding father in this endeavor. Frank Burns of Boynton beach has been the one most ardent member. His sheer will power and determination has forged this club into the strong entity it is to day. The club is a viable and on going group because of the fruits of his labor. Frank ,our first President and President for 15 years has laid a foundation for us all to be proud of Hal Seitz treasurer-------------------------------------------------------------- Posted 1/12/2003 ---------An announcement from our secretary--------- With a sad Heart we announce the passing this week of one of our members Ed Malley of Palm Beach Gardens.
