Message from the NBS President, Tom Harrison

As we plan for this summer's ANA World's Fair of Money in Rosemont, we remain optimistic the convention will be held. The NBS will be conducting our annual charity auction in conjunction with the ANA Convention. David Fanning has graciously agreed to accept and catalog items for the auction. The auction will be held at the NBS General Meeting, or by mail bid if the convention is cancelled. Again this year we truly appreciate the members' continued support of this all important event. While we are grateful for all donations, we especially need items valued over $100. Please contact David at df@numislit.com before sending your donations. Donations can be sent to: David Fanning, 141 W. Johnstown Road, Gahanna, Ohio 43230 and should be received by June 30. Please watch for convention updates in The E-Sylum as plans are confirmed.

This being an election year I would like to recognize the many dedicated members who continue to step up in leadership roles and serve the NBS. The efforts of your officers, treasurer, NBS editor, E-Sylum editor, website host, webmaster and others work diligently to ensure the NBS runs smoothly year after year. The NBS has a 40 year track record of devoted members who carry the torch and keep the numismatic literature flame alive. On behalf of the NBS membership, I want to share a sincere word of gratitude to both the past and present friends of the NBS for your commitment that has enriched our collecting experience.

May your numismatic library provide investigation, discovery and, most of all, enjoyment.
