BULLETIN Volume 108 Number 5 President’s Message Congratulations to the Edmonton Stamp Club and our 2019 Edmonton National Spring Show committee, headed by Kelly Liusz- Moser and Jim Lockau. In my opinion this year’s Spring Show was an outstanding success. It continued the trend of building on the previous successful shows. We, in 2019 have not seen attendance, roughly 900 people, dealer participation [17], dealer satisfaction and number of stamp frames, over 100 since the Royal Show back in 2012. In addition, we had two well attended seminars, the first in many years. The success of a show of this size can only be achieved by the work of many club members. I must mention a few members whom put in stalwart service at the show in no particular order: Jeff Pacey, Ed Dykstra, Rod Verrier, Fred Tauber and Keith Spencer. I know this list is incomplete but so many contributed to the success of this show that it is not practical to name everyone who contributed to the success of this show. I want to thank those club members who attended the Spring Show and did wear their ESC ID badge. I did receive positive mention from visitors to the show on how welcoming and helpful our members were when approached by the visitors. The next important event to remember is the regional stamp club meeting and bourse in Red Deer on May 25. If you need a ride down to Red Deer or can take a passenger down to Red Deer, please let a member of the Board know. Meeting different collectors, seeing new material for sale and a 200-lot auction should be fun and worth the effort to attend the meeting in Red Deer. We need volunteers to give a short presentation to the club at our regular meetings. The topic is up to you. Please think of participating. If you can give a short 5-15-minute talk on a stamp, area of collecting, your collection, etc. please contact Keith Spence, Barend Wissink or any Board member. I look forward to seeing you at our regular meetings. Richard Barnes KINGDOOM of MACEDONIA, LOCAL REVOLUTIONARY ISSUE of 1906 5 E.S.C.
