Florida Token Society
to Meet Saturday, March 20, 2004
Ocala, Florida
The Florida Token Society meeting will be on March
22, 2004,
at the Freedom Public Library, 5870 SW 95th St., Ocala, FL (352) 291-6040.
To get to the library take I-75 to Exit 68 this is
Highway 200 (also known as College Rd). Go South West on
Highway 200 approximately two miles to SW 60th Avenue. Go East on SW 60th Avenue (about 2.2 miles) to SW 95th Street. Go North about one block
to library which will be on the right side of the street.
The library has ample parking and opens at 10:00
A.M.
but they will let us in at 9:00 AM. We will be in the meeting room on the right
as you enter as we have used in previous years.
The meeting room has a small area with sink, microwave and coffeemaker. We will provide some sodas, coffee and
cookies for attendee's to this meeting. this
will be complements of John and Nancy Wilson and David and Sherry Sklow. We can have the meeting room until 4:00
PM. The only requirement is that our meeting be
open to the public (all libraries have this policy). This is a new library in Marion county and the meeting
room is very nice.
As has been customary at this meeting, we will go
as a group to Sammy’s, a small Italian restaurant a few miles away. The
official business meeting will follow lunch.
The March Ocala meeting has traditionally been one
of the best meetings of the year. The weather is great and collectors are
coming out of hibernation and want to get active after the long cold winter.
This is the same location as last year’s March meeting and it was an
exceptional meeting as this one promises to be.
If you have never been to a Florida Token Society meeting,
this is an opportunity to meet fellow collectors and maybe acquire that token
you have been searching for. Our meetings start with an informal mingling of
collectors and lots of trading, looking and telling stories of the ones that
got away! Usually the group goes to a restaurant for lunch and then returns
around 1 PM for the business meeting and program. A
show-and-tell is part of the afternoon program, so bring that special token and
tell us about it.
Bring items for a donation auction that will be
held at the end of the meeting.
