Congratulations to all members of the Pin Traders Club of Pennsylvania on our 25th Anniversary Year.  We have just recently mailed to each of our members the above pin in celebration of this anniversary.  We believe you should be proud to be part of this "GREAT" Pin Traders Club.

 

 

Congratulations to the "North Carolina Pin Traders Club". 

This Pin Trading Club would be considered small by those who only count by numbers, but they truly are large in "HEART".  Shown above are Lions Gene English and John O'Malley of the Pin Traders Club of North Carolina presenting our own Lion Larry Shaull, President of the LITPC a check in the amount of $3,000 toward their goal of $5,000 which they have pledged for the Sight First II Project.  It is truly Lions like the Lions of North Carolina that make a difference!

LITCP SIGHT FIRST II QUILT RAFFLE

 

All proceeds from raffle tickets purchased for The Sight First II quilt, "Luncheon in the Butterfly Garden" will go to Sight First II. The quilt is 105” square and makes beautiful use of colors and quilting.  The chances on the quilt are available from our pin trading club. The Pennsylvania Pin Trading Club has received 350 chances on the quilt to sell. The money collected from the sale of the chances will be returned to the LITPC Treasurer and will be the official Sight First II project of the LITPC. If our club sells more than the 350 tickets, the additional money will be credited towards the LITPC Sight First II project. The seller of the winning ticket for the quilt will be “rewarded” with a crisp $100.00 bill. The goal of $100,000.00 for Sight First II is going to be achieved without a doubt by the time of the Minneapolis convention. Pin traders world wide will be very proud of this project which is being led by the LITPC as a joint effort with every other pin trading club. If you need or want to purchase tickets please feel free to email Amos Shatzer at  Ashatzer@verizon.net or contact any member of the Board of Directors of the Pin Traders Club of Pennsylvania.
