Woodland Boulevard, Deland, Florida (386) 734-5711. On the map below, the University Inn
is located on the south facing corner of where you see the “star” indicating the
location of the Holiday House. Woodland Boulevard is also US 17-92. In addition, the University Inn is directly across the street from the well known Holiday House Resturant.
The Inn has ample parking and the meeting will start at 9:30 A.M. with the business meeting and program to be held after lunch. If you have never been to a Florida Token Society meeting, this is an opprotunity to meet fellow collectors and perhaps acquire that token or medal you have been looking for. The meeting start with an informal mingling of collectors and guests, and lots of trading, looking, and telling stories of the ones that got away!

Bob Lazzell, Florida Token
Society member from Brooksville, Florida reports that the City of Gulfport Trolley has
taken a low tech method to create a “Senior Fare” token. The Trolley folks simply
stamped a 28mm yellow dot on the back of the regular fare token. It appears to be acrylic
latex paint.
