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 eighty 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. Meetings are held in the commons area on the lower level of the Evergreen Retirement Community. You may park in the lot in front of the building or on the street and enter the front doors. In June, our picnic is on Sunday, June 10th, 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 2012.
Again this year club member auctions will be held at all but three meetings (the two dealer nights and the member bourse night). Each member may submit up to five lots for each auction.

Door prizes are offered at each meeting. Unless noted, there will be auctions of Members' & Club items at each meeting. Club is buying stamp lots for auctions. This has worked well at other clubs, as material for auctions is of general interest and good value.
Dues are $5 per year (not prorated), and visitors are always welcome and may participate in all meeting activities except voting on club issues.
