<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheCitrusGuy, post: 3721000, member: 106294&quot;]Greetings folks, </p><p>I went to my very first coin club meeting last night, and, while it was okay, I have some questions now for the rest of you concerning coin club meetings.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the gist of how it went down.</p><p>I got there early to chat with folks, about 45 minutes before the meeting actually started.</p><p>I had a couple of pleasant conversations, and I had brought a few things to show off, nothing earth-shattering.</p><p><br /></p><p>The meeting started at 7:30 with a prayer, then a business meeting. They discussed the minutes, upcoming shows, treasurer report, etc. Typical club stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then they had a general raffle and a 50/50 raffle. When those were done about 50% of the crowd left before they held an auction of numerous items. I stuck around to see what they were bidding on. I almost won a nice Indian Head Cent, but, got outbid. Oh well. They had a few items only for YN&#039;s to bid on, which I thought was great! There were 4 YN&#039;s there, under the age of 12 I guessed. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then they started bidding on the big stuff, starting bids at $15 and up. Some REALLY nice stuff, out of my current pocketbook range. When the auctions were over, nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Meeting adjourned, see at the next one in two weeks.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question(s)</p><p>Is this typical of a meeting all over the country?</p><p>I assumed there would be some kind of a short educational bit, anything, Carson City coins, valuable mint sets, something. </p><p><br /></p><p>Was I expecting something that doesn&#039;t usually happen?</p><p>I know what I could do, contact the president of the group and ask if this is something that could be done, but I don&#039;t want to look like an idiot asking for something that is not S.O.P.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was enjoyable, I doubt I will go every two weeks that they have a meeting, but I may stick my head in occasionally and see what is going on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Comments?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
