VENTURA COUNTY PHILATELIC SOCIETY
The first meeting of the month is the first Monday and includes a short business session and a program
devoted to some aspect of stamp collecting.
The second meeting of the month is the third Monday and is a stamp exchange. Visitors are most welcome
at all our meetings..
* We issue a monthly newsletter containing club and general philatelic news.
* We are a chapter of the American Philatelic Society (APS) and a charter member of the Federated Philatelic
Clubs of Southern California (FPCSC). We are the home club of collectors who are or have been officers of
the FPCSC and the APS, the nation's largest group of stamp collectors.
* We have conducted periodic workshops for a limited number of participants on more technical aspects of
collecting; watermarks, stamp identification, stamp separation and philatelic literature, to name a few.
* We have an estate committee to help spouses of deceased members dispose of collections lovingly put
together over the years. This service is only for club members.
* We run an annual Youth Stamp Fair in Ventura in October that is becoming more and more popular and we
are proud to be helping young people enjoy and share our hobby.
* We have an annual philatelic exhibit and stamp dealer bourse; VENPEX. Admission is free. Philatelists
exhibit their stamps from around the world and we have awards of Grand Prize, Gold, Silver and Bronze
with appropriate trophies for each.
Annual dues are $25 for adults; $12.50 for junior members under 18 years of age; and $12.50 for spouses.
Members joining after October pay $25.00 and it covers the balance of the year and all the following year.
