The tradition continues as the Robert C. Graebner Chapter and the Claude C. Ries Chapter host the Hospitality Suite at this year’s Americover in Irvine, Calif. The Suite will provide ample room for attendees to meet and enjoy the company of fellow collectors. The Suite will be open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings after the other events are finished and offer light snacks and soft drinks.

This year the two chapters are again teaming up to hold the popular Silent Auction which begins on Thursday and closes at 11:00 PM on Saturday evening. The auction features 128 lots with a large variety of new and older material including single covers, sets on cover, ceremony programs and usually a few unique items that attract several bidders. Download a description of all lots.

The auction is open to all show attendees; register to bid in the Suite. If you can’t make the show, contact Foster Miller at fmillerfdc@yahoo.com to act as your auction agent. Auction proceeds cover the cost of the Suite, with remaining funds donated to the Society.

Auction items have been donated by Chapter members and the many members of AFDCS. The Chapters thank all the members who have assisted in putting together the auction and who have provided outstanding material.
