MEETING

Monday, February 3, 2003 at 7:30 p.m.

Sheraton Airport Hotel

Waterford Room (conference center area)

1850 Post Road, Warwick, RI

PROGRAM - For our February meeting, we will have a presentation on postcards by our own Wayne Swanson. Wayne will be bringing many examples from the world of postcards. He will tell us what is happening in the market--what to look for, what is “hot” and what is not! You are encouraged to bring any cards that you may have.

HOLIDAY SHOW - Attendance at the Holiday Show was down by 15% from last year’s near-record turn-out, but the crowd was in a buying mood and most dealers did well. The nearly 200 customers who were there for the opening bell jumped right in and things started off with a good surge.

WEB SITE - We are please to announce that Diane Dolphin, Dolphin Antiques, has agreed to administer the web site for us. Diane was welcomed as a new member at the January Holiday party. The site is being updated with the new information you submitted, as shown in the 2003 brochure. It should be complete by the time you receive this newsletter.

The message board is up and working. This is an important feature for which you will be given details at the February 3rd meeting and in the next newsletter. Don’t forget--you do not have to have a computer in order to have your message on the site. . . more later.

FUTURE MEETING NOTICES: For those of you with e-mail addresses printed in the brochure, you will be receiving your next newsletter via e-mail. If for any reason you still prefer postal mail or if your e-mail address has changed, please advise your corresponding secretary, Lilly Dufault, 401-789-1427 or rduf1868@cox.net.

HOLIDAY PARTY - The Holiday Party at Chelo’s in Warwick was well attended and some strange things were unwrapped at the Yankee Swap. It was a nice evening and a good way to spend time with member friends.

PCD SPRING SHOW UPDATE - Peel n’ Stick Party: Please join us on Wednesday, February 26, 7 p.m. at Joyce Nelson’s house. We’ll have lots of fun and refreshments. The more people working, the quicker the job gets done! Please call Joyce for directions 826-1441.

If you would like to volunteer to help the PCD Committee in some way, please contact Phil or Mary Green. If you would like to participate in the show and have not received a contract, please notify Phil or Mary: 885-0392. Thank you!

We wish to extend our sympathies to Marry Gormally on the recent loss of her mother and also to Ray Dufault on the loss of his mother.

Good luck to Jan Wright and to Mae Childs as they recover from their surgeries and to Greg Soder, as he too recovers from surgery.
