A letter to the Northwest Coin Club...
Dear NWCC,
Whether it was the first Scout to get his Coin Collecting Merit Badge or ChaLee Yang one of the last in the group yesterday --I know they all were excited to learn so much from all of you, to tour the Expo and talk to adults who took the time to talk to them and to take that envelope filled with coins home to show to their family ..... you all made a Huge impression on these youth.
Thank You so much --I was truly amazed seeing so many adults being there for these kids ..
And then Today Sunday ...
You Did it Again !!! What a fun and another great learning experience for these kids ... and the parents Loved it too !!!
No matter what the kids came home with --they were thrilled --and They will be Back Next year for more--You have them hooked for sure .
Just to share...... the three children from the BC Hmong Family I brought
ChaLee Bid 4 times.. $50 each and came home with a book on Mohammad Ali - 2 set of coins and yes Ron that Empty folder of stamps Included 20 east coast Quarters --He was thrilled
His sister Kimee Bid $100 for the Shrek CD and coins and loved it
Younger sister YongCha waited too long to bid her $200.. so had nothing --but she knows to come early next week and Bid early too!!
All part of the fun day they had !!!
They all couldn't wait to tell their parents and G-parents and their 5 sibling at home about this COOL afternoon !!!
It was a pleasure to be part of both these days.. also I was so impressed with the vendors from all over the US --What a friendly group!!
Thank You
