Howard Daniel submitted this report on the trip he and his wife Phung took to the Florida United Numismatists Summer show. Thanks.

Phung and I staffed a club table at the 2015 Summer FUN Show in Orlando on July 9, 10 and 11. The booth was identified for the International Bank Note Society but we also represented Numismatics International, Numismatic Bibliomania Society, Numismatic Literary Guild, and the MPC Fest/Gram. We passed out world coins and notes to young people, and military currency to veterans and law enforcement.
The club booth behind us was for the Tampa Bay Coin Club. We met Hugh Taggert and Richard Stroman, and a couple ladies. I forgot to ask the ladies for their names, but one of them sold me their current medal which commemorates the first Christmas service in North America! I have never seen anything about this event! The medal is Antique Silver and 44.45mm in diameter, 3.5mm in thickness and weighs 39 grams. They minted only 100 pieces but it is priced at only $15! Contact Hugh and Richard at tbcc1955@aol.com to acquire one of these medals or for information about the club. I am going to give mine to a cousin in Deltaville, Virginia to give away to one of her students in her Sunday School class in the Mount Zion Baptist Church.
I was also unaware of that event. The Internet doesn't seem to have much information about it. Below is an article I found from a 2012 issue of Tallahassee Magazine.
