JR Newsletter: 12 November 2023 (611)

As the holidays race towards us there are a few things going on in the world of JRCS. As I’m sure all you remember I called for a jumbo issue of the journal for our 100th issue. The membership responded very positively granting me with almost a full double issue. With that came extra work that is almost done. The issue will be out in early December. 

It also came with additional un planned for circumstances. In my enthusiasm to put out a special issue I semi-planned for additional printing costs but did not think about needing different envelopes and the additional postage needed to mail them.  In discussion with our esteemed treasurer we determined that it would be prudent to raise $3000 to keep the treasury in a healthy condition. 

So, here I am with hat in hand asking the membership to consider donating to the cause. I have already received commitments from a few members for a $100 donation. If you could see to sending something it would be highly appreciated. Checks should be made out to JRCS and please send a note with it letting Dave know it is a journal donation. Send them to JRCS, PO Box 3039 Centennial CO 80161. 

We also have had two members who have downsized their numismatic library and donated their JRJ’s to the society. I can add recent numbers to make virtually complete sets. These are being offered for $500 plus UPS shipping to the first two respondents to bkaroleff(at)yahoo.com. All the early issues are present and represent a good value for anyone wanting a set of our journals. 

Thanks to everyone who helps with a donation to our society. Any monies collected over the requested amount will be held in the treasury to offset miscellaneous future expenses. 

Happy holidays and I’m looking forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming FUN convention in January. 

Brad
