Philatelic Society - Established 1933 Website: LCPSHOME.ORG Perforations At our last meeting in November we discussed this year’s Chicagopex. In general, the numbers were down due to the snowstorm the Friday of the event. The usual number of dealers were there and bargains were available with the lower and middle tier dealers. In addition, we discussed the upcoming Brunch at the Golden Coral on Saturday 05 December at 1130.

This month Bill Schultz will discuss "Philatelic Summer Vacation Trips". In addition to the talk we will hold our annual elections.

Holiday Brunch 2015. This year’s Holiday Brunch saw only ten members showing up. The program saw Tom quizzing the group on carols and Bill conducting the annual gift give-a-way.
