The Oshkosh Philatelic Society was one of the first stamp clubs in Wisconsin. Join us! We are sure you would agree our club must have been helpful to many people in the past to have survived seventy-seven years.
Meetings are held at 7pm on the first Tuesday and third Monday of each month from September through May, except in December when we meet on the first Tuesday only. In June, our picnic is on Sunday, June 8th, at 12 noon, our only meeting for that month. The Oshkosh Philatelic Society will not be meeting during the months of July and August of 2008.
