AFDCS SETS AMERICOVER 2018 FOR ATLANTA AREA
Show Hotel Rate Around $100 For Yet Another Year

The American First Day Cover Society, the world's biggest non-profit organization of FDC collectors, has chosen Atlanta, Georgia, for its 2018 show and convention.

Americover 2018 will be held at the Hilton Atlanta Northeast August 3-5, 2018. The hotel’s address is Hilton Atlanta Northeast, 5993 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092.

The official hotel rate for the stamp show will be $99, good from Wednesday through Sunday nights. Parking is free, as are the hotel's breakfast buffet (for up to two guests per room per morning) and a complimentary shuttle to nearby areas.

Although Americovers run for three days, there will be a special tour on the preceding Thursday and a post-show dinner event Sunday evening.

This is the same venue used each January by Southeastern Stamp Expo.

"Many of you have attended our yearly AFDCS Regional Meetings at the Expo and know what a great facility this location offers," said Southeast Federation of Stamp Clubs president Charles O’Brien, III, a gold-medal winning first day cover exhibitor. "Please join us for a great time, some fun with friends and first day covers and our Southern hospitality."

All Americovers are World Series of Philately shows dedicated to first day covers and the fun of stamp collecting. Locations move around the country: 2017's show will be held in the Cleveland area and 2016’s show was held in Falls Church, Va., near Washington, D.C. Other recent shows have been held in Somerset, N.J., Oak Brook, Ill., Irvine, Calif., and Indianapolis, Ind.
