I have just returned from the ANA World's Fair of Money in Anaheim, and I can report with great confidence that the specialty of collecting numismatic literature is alive and well! On Thursday, one of the finest researchers in numismatics, Fred Holabird, shared his valuable techniques at our well-attended NBS Symposium. His dynamic style and ability to show us all how to "think out of the box" when conducting our research was invaluable.

The NBS Board of Directors met to discuss the fiscal state of our organization, and it was decided to raise the dues for NBS both in North America and internationally. Changes will be reflected in coming weeks here in The E-Sylum.

Our meetings in Anaheim ended on a high note with our NBS General Meeting and Auction. Wayne Homren and Len Augsburger informed our members and guests on the progress on the Newman Numismatic Portal. The value of the Portal to researchers is already clear, and as the project expands, the information in these texts will be preserved for generations to come. Lastly, our tremendous NBS Literature Auction raised over $3800 for our organization, ensuring our fiscal solvency into next year. A special thanks to all that donated, bid, and helped with the auction.

I will continue to include monthly messages from the President's desk. If you have any comments, suggestions, or great ideas for NBS, please send them to me or any member of the Board.
