EDITORIAL

Parents:

2012 through 2015 are anniversary years of two major wars that our country endured - the War of 1812 and the Civil War. The young students in your family will learn about these events from a variety of sources, mostly academic such as history or social studies textbooks, but also from TV and the Internet.

There is another way, however, that students can obtain an understanding of U.S. history, namely from commemorative stamps issued over the years by the United States Postal Service. Some of these are pictured below. Encourage your children to collect these commemoratives.

 


GUESTS & NEW MEMBERS ARE WELCOME!


Upcoming Meetings:
  March 13 & 27
  April 10 & 24		 Club Dues:
