FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Classics Society Announces Events For APS StampShow

Special Society Dinner & Two First-Class Lectures To Be Held During Show

July 1, 2009...In conjunction with the APS Summer StampShow being held in Pittsburgh, PA August 6-9, 2009, the United States Philatelic Classics Society is sponsoring two lectures and a society dinner. "Every APS Summer StampShow is a wonderful opportunity for the society's members to meet face-to-face, catch up with old friends, make new friends, and exchange stamps, and stories," said President Wade Saadi.

A central event for the USPCS members attending the show will be the Society Dinner to be held on Friday August 7th at 6:30 pm at Lidia's (1400 Smallman Street, Pittsburgh-about 4/10 miles from the show hotel and convention center--http://www.lidias-pittsburgh.com/#). There is no set cost as it depends upon what you order - there will be no set banquet menu. Each table of 4 or 6 will be billed separately. To make reservations, please contact Jim Boyles at jboyles@dejazzd.com as soon as possible.

Following Dwayne O. Littauer's lecture on Saturday morning, the winners of the Classics Society's Chase and Ashbrook Cups will be announced. The APS StampShow is the largest annual philatelic gathering, with something for every stamp collector to see and do.

    About the U.S. Philatelic Classics Society

    The U.S. Philatelic Classics Society is the only organization that studies in depth the stamps and postal history of the United States from the Colonial era to 1900. Our members include both collectors and students. Many have written articles that have been published in our award winning quarterly magazine, The Chronicle of the U.S. Classic Postal Issues, and in other publications. Information about the USPCS, membership, its publications, and articles of interest to collectors and students of the classic period of U.S. philately, can found at the society's website at www.uspcs.org. Copies of back issues of the Chronicle and previously published books are also available from the society's bookstore, accessible from the society's website, or directly at http://www.uspcs.org/store.html.
