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. |
