The Redwood Empire Collectors Club held its first meeting in January, 1991, and has met on a regular basis since. Meetings are held monthly except for a summer barbecue, a Christmas event, and our October WINEPEX show. There are currently about 20 active members, all of whom could be termed ardent philatelists. Although we meet in Petaluma, our members come from all over the Bay Area. Meetings normally include dinner, a short business meeting, and a speaker. Since 1991 we have had over 150 philatelic presentations - everything from “District of Columbia Early Postmarks” to the “First Issue of Austria.” We prefer this approach to perusing circuit books. We are always looking for new members and consider ourselves an open, friendly club. We meet at a local restaurant in Petaluma, the third Wednesday of the month at 6:00 P.M. If you would like to give a presentation, or simply attend as a guest, call me at (707) 763-2934 or email me at nrdyer@comcast.net Norris (Bob) Dyer |

| Exhibiting: In 1994 we held our first annual RECC show in San Rafael. Our “claim to philatelic fame” is that we only accept single frame exhibits at WINEPEX. Because we have always encouraged exhibits from members, many have honed their single frame skills and gone on to exhibit in national APS shows and Washington 2006, winning Golds, and Grands. More advanced exhibitors help new collectors create or improve their exhibits. | ||
