Wednesday November 6th is the next scheduled meeting of the Gold Coast Coin Club and possibly the last. I have been trying to promote the new club for the past year and need to decide if it will continue.
I would like all forum members in the area to attend this meeting to see if the club can be made to thrive. The few members who do attend are very smart and know their stuff!
Please pm me if you can make this meeting at 7pm at North Shore High School at 450 Glen Cove Avenue in Glen Head, NY

Sorry, its a bad day for me as I will be in Jersey. Please keep this club going as I will plan on attending future meetings!!
Say hello to everyone in attendance for me!
Come on Long Island coin collectors - show up - its a great group of folks.
It has been my experience that the best way to get people to come to meeting is to offer collectors opportunities to add to their collections. Three of the strongest clubs to which I have ever belonged had either a fair size bourse at the meeting, an active auction or both.
I've belonged to some other clubs of moderate to very advanced collectors who were into presentations and knowledge. That really only works for people with large collections who have been active in the hobby for years.
Currently I am the educational director at my local club. I speak most months with a Power Point visual aid. The club also has an active auction.
The trouble is many of the members, including me, are retirement age. We do have several YNs however who are very active. One of them is the club secretary. Still we don't get the 30 to 50 year old people on a regular basis.
