Sixth WSS-NY 2016 Newsletter Focuses on Societies

World Stamp Show-NY 2016 (WSS-NY 2016) has issued another in its series of quarterly international exhibition newsletters, this one focusing on society participation, with 18 months before its doors open. It is available for viewing and downloading online at http://www.ny2016.org/images/ny2016newsletters/2014-12-newsletter6.pdf.

As exhibition President Wade Saadi mentions, “This is the first special newsletter we’ve ever produced, and it focuses on Societies! From the very beginning we at World Stamp Show-NY 2016 have understood that members of philatelic societies of all kinds would make up the backbone of this great once-a-decade event in so many ways.”

The newsletter lists the 50 philatelic organizations that have already committed to participate in the once-a-decade U.S. philatelic event by manning a booth, holding a national convention and/or seminar on their specialty. More are readying their plans and will be announced when finalized. A few society booths remain unreserved.

Of special note is that philatelic societies and organizations may reserve meeting rooms on an availability basis free of charge, however priority will be given to those groups that have donated to WSS-NY 2016 in one of three membership levels. The schedule of society meetings, seminars and events will be announced in May 2015.

A variety of customizable ads publicizing a society’s attendance and events are now available for downloading at http://www.ny2016.org/SubMenu/Participation.aspx?id=499. The page also outlines additional ways groups may take part in the show.

Other major articles deal with sponsoring special exhibit prizes, a plan to promote philately to the general public in the New York region, and a request for donated philatelic items for use during the show.

World Stamp Show-NY 2016 takes place over eight days from May 28-June 4, 2016 at the Javits Center in New York City. Full show information is online at http://www.www.ny2016.org.
