COIN CLUB ACTIVITIES TO RESTART IN FALL 2021 

• The 2020-2021 Coin Club Season was largely interrupted by COVID-19, although the RRVCC auction was held on 4/10/21.
• I'm sure we are all looking forward to a more normal and enjoyable collecting season starting this fall. We are enthusiastic that club events can be "live" next season. A preliminary schedule of events will be posted under the calendar tab shortly.
