WALPEX Youth Program and “Phish” Bowl

 

WALPEX 2014 will again this year include a Youth Program based on the one offered by the Northeastern Federation of Stamp Clubs at its annual Philatelic Show.

 

The Youth Program is designed to introduce children to stamp collecting by giving them collector pages and stamps at WALPEX and on a monthly basis thereafter.  A representative of the Northeast Federation of Stamp Clubs Youth Program will be present to assist the children and to answer questions.

 

In addition, the younger collectors (along with many that are not so young!) always seem to enjoy the “phish” bowl where packets of stamps can be purchased for 15 cents each or 10 packets for a dollar.  Approximately 10% of the packets also contain slips to be redeemed for additional philatelic bonus prizes.
