TLCC News Summary 2010

Holiday Extravaganza! The TLCC's December 7, 2010 monthly meeting continued the tradition of a holiday party catered by TLCC members Bonnie and Mike Zagorin. Have a great holiday season!!

Fall meetings! There were no TLCC meetings in July 2010. Regular club meetings resumed with the meeting of Tuesday, August 3, 2010, and all 2010 meetings are now complete.

Coin Show! The TLCC hosted its 44th semi-annual coin show the weekend of August 28-29, 2010, at the King Oscar Convention Center in south Tacoma. The dates of this show were moved from the usual fall dates to to avoid a conflict with another show, and the corresponding 2011 show will also be held the last weekend of August.

Redesigned Website! This website has been redesigned and published as of May 12, 2010. Please let Eric Holcomb know if you have suggestions, corrections, etc. We could use more club member content!

Conventions!! TLCC members and guests were invited to attend the annual PNNA conventions, in Tukwila, WA, April 16-18, 2010 and Portland, OR, October 23-24, 2010. TLCC editor Rick Schulz was installed as one of the new PNNA board members, and also served as Puyallup Fair coordinator.

Note: The PNNA History section has reports on some past PNNA and ANA events, including the PNNA spring and fall shows.
