CLUB MEETINGS
June 7, 2023
Our program for June 7th will be an American Topical Association's presentation of - Let's Get Social! Connecting with Collectors Through Social Media.
Love social media or hate it, the use of it is affecting our hobby. This presentation consists of an overview of various social media platforms along with their relationship to stamp collecting. The presenter then takes a deeper dive into the Instagram platform and its use for stamp presentation and comment.
After the presentation, various members of our club will briefly discuss how they use social media in pursuit of their collecting.
