<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1798578, member: 28199&quot;]Nice idea, and I commend you for the effort.&nbsp; However, you would need more of a plan than &quot;I&#039;m starting a coin club, can anybody send me stuff to give to the kids and help me out with meeting topics?&quot;.&nbsp; Hopefully, you&#039;ve got a little more than that.&nbsp; First step, make sure there are others in the area who are interested in the same thing.&nbsp; Since I don&#039;t know you personally, I can&#039;t begin to give you tips on what to talk about, but determine the age range and interests of your group then decide what to present.&nbsp; Meet informally, and organize.&nbsp; See who has what knowledge, and who would be willing to share that with others in the group.&nbsp; Being part of a group means having an equal say in what goes on within the group.&nbsp; The officers of said clubs are there only to keep order, not dictate.&nbsp; Researching a presentation is a great way to learn, then sharing that info with others reinforces what you learned in compiling the presentation.&nbsp; Think school essay or book report (or am I dating myself?) only the subject is something you enjoy rather than an assignment.&nbsp; Use this as the basis for each meeting (one at a time).&nbsp; Then find what you can among the group to give/trade/auction at the meetings.&nbsp; I can&#039;t speak for everybody, but I can&#039;t blindly send items to an internet stranger on a wish, but if I can see the results of your effort, I could be persuaded to help out.</p><p><br /></p><p>FYI- I was a &quot;den mother&quot; for my daughter&#039;s brownie troop years ago.&nbsp; I was the only male mother in the group (and the only one with a beard).&nbsp; (I also coached my son&#039;s elementary athletic teams, didn&#039;t feel out of place with those).&nbsp; I helped because they needed it, and my wife worked swing shifts.&nbsp; I was actually famous within the troop for my cupcakes (from a mix, but I made &#039;em myself!).&nbsp; I tell you this so as not to let what I said above discourage you.&nbsp; Like I said, I applaud your effort and wish you the best of luck.&nbsp; I would like to see some updates on your progress.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
