LOCAL Philatelic Activities 2025-26

  PSC Meeting Activities

During our Poway Stamp Club monthly meetings, we enjoy discussing club matters and welcoming a special guest speaker. Afterwards, members often have the fun opportunity to buy, sell, or trade stamps and other philatelic treasures. Usually, there's also a voice sale, adding excitement to the gathering. On certain occasions, we even offer our members access to APS Circuits, making each meeting a wonderful chance to connect and share our passion for stamps.

Our welcoming community includes Philatelists of all experience levels. If you've acquired a collection—whether purchased or inherited—and feel unsure about its evaluation, our friendly members are always ready to help you out.

Our Club offers members the chance to check out Scott Catalogs, making it easy to explore together. We also love welcoming guest speakers to our meetings, where they share fascinating philatelic topics that everyone can enjoy.

Join us and enjoy a club that supports you and your hobby.

PRIZE DRAWINGS

At our meetings, everyone has a wonderful chance to buy tickets for exciting prizes like quality stamps and more fantastic items. Tickets are just five for a dollar, and each member can purchase up to ten tickets, which is two dollars' worth. Before each Wednesday club meeting, over a hundred dollars' worth of stamps, carefully arranged in glassine envelopes, are displayed on the club's corkboard for everyone to enjoy and take a look at.

During the meeting, a volunteer club member will happily draw the tickets one by one until all of the opportunity items have been claimed. Each member with purchased tickets can win up to two times during the event. These opportunity drawings are always fun and exciting fundraising activities that bring everyone together.

Please note that all opportunity prize items have been carefully evaluated and thoughtfully chosen by our Club Vice President. This way, we can be sure that each prize envelope includes at least one special collectible stamp, adding a bit of extra excitement for everyone.

Board Elections

First Meeting in January

Don’t forget each year to attend the Club's first meeting in January and elect your new officers and Board of Directors.

The board is responsible for ensuring that the  organization’s mission is clearly stated and enthusiastically  supported. A commitment to the organization’s mission should drive the  board’s and management’s priorities.  Our  club's mission is to promote closer social connections among stamp  collectors in San Diego County and surrounding areas and to help spread  knowledge about stamps and the enjoyment of stamp collecting.  

All members are encouraged to throw their hat in the ring and become volunteer or member of the board.

Many of our members enjoy sharing their lovely stories about how they first discovered our Club, and we would be delighted to hear about your own experiences with stamp collecting too!
