Americover 2008 in Northern Virginia August 22-24
Fresh off the success of its 2007 edition, the American First Day
Cover Society, the world's oldest and largest non-profit organization for FDC collectors, has chosen Falls Church, Va., just outside Washington, DC, for its Americover 2007 show and convention. The three-day World Series of Philately show will be held August 22-24 at the Fairview Park Marriott Hotel, and will feature a large mostly-FDC bourse, cachetmakers bourse, top exhibits, a banquet, meetings, seminars, youth booth, pre-show area tour and post-show dinner event. A first day of issue ceremony and a forum by postal officials involved with first day covers is also likely. Americover is one of three WSP shows that move to different locations around the country each year. (The other two are the American Philatelic Society's Stampshow and the American Topical Association's National Topical Stamp Show.) The Washington DC area is home to one of the AFDCS' most-active chapters, but collectors from all over the country attend Americover annually, no matter where it is held. The Robert C. Graebner Chapter #17 will host the show's hospitality suite. The special Americover room rate at the Fairview Park Marriott is $104. The American First Day Cover Society, with more than 2300 members worldwide, was founded in 1955. It is an affiliate of the APS, and itself has more than 48 chapters in the U.S. and Australia. Besides its annual convention, the AFDCS publishes handbooks, produces first day covers, holds several auctions each year, and publishes the award-winning journal First Days eight times a year. For more information on Americover 2008 and the AFDCS, contact the AFDCS at P.O. Box 16277, Tucson, Arizona 85732-6277, or . |
