<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 26148663, member: 105571&quot;]I belong to a local club which was established in 1955.&nbsp; We have about 70 or so members of which about 45 to 55 attend each meeting.&nbsp; We meet twice a month.&nbsp; Obviously the age skews upwards but we have an active YN section.&nbsp; We aren&#039;t all old geezers, a fair smattering of folks in their late 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s. We also sponsor a once-a-month coin show at a local civic center.&nbsp; We also have a booth at the two FUN shows.&nbsp; The usual raffles, giveaways, auctions, show-n-tells, once a month formal presentations.&nbsp; We also allow our dealer-members to set up shop at the back of the room at the regular meetings.&nbsp; Dues are $25/year.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do I get out of it?&nbsp; Well, it&#039;s a social affair that centers around a common interest.&nbsp; I also learn about all kinds of things that aren&#039;t my particular collecting interest.&nbsp; Plus, you make friends.&nbsp; One of my buds met through the club it turned out we shared some friends and acquaintances and interests from 40+ years ago including our old interests in motorcycles and British sports cars but our paths never crossed back in the day.&nbsp; It also gives me a way to contribute something to a common cause.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you join a club, the benefits should run both ways - give as well as take.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus it gets me out of the house twice a month much to my wife&#039;s delight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
