Going Postal for Girl Scouts

New Forever Stamp

 I recently discovered that there is going to be a special stamp issued to honor the 100th year anniversary of Girl Scouts with a Celebrate Scouting Forever Stamp. It will be issued by the US Postal Service on June 9th for public purchase. As a 'Forever' stamp it will always be good for USPS First Class postage to mail letters weighing one ounce or less no matter what the postal rate.

Our local Stamp Club, the Sullivan County Philatelic Society, will be hosting a special Stamp & Coin Show at the Ted Stroeble Recreation Center on Jefferson Street  in Monticello from 10AM - 4PM on Sunday, June 10th.  Those of you who are stamp collectors or interested in learning more about this popular hobby may wish to stop in to see what is on display.  Admission is free and you will be able to meet a variety of stamp and coin collectors in this, the club's 40th annual show. The show will also feature door prizes, hourly prize drawings, and will be honoring Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts of America.
