With its doors opening in just one year on May 28, 2016, the World Stamp Show-NY 2016 organizing committee is celebrating the milestone by releasing its eight quarterly newsletter. It can be downloaded directly at http://www.ny2016.org/images/ny2016newsletters/2015-05-28-newsletter8.pdf.
As stated in President Wade Saadi’s lead article, “Our goal is simple–to make your stay at the exhibition an enjoyable and pleasantly unforgettable one!” This issue gives show-goers a summary of many aspects of the once-a-decade philatelic event.
An updated roster of participating societies is included in the newsletter along with their assigned meeting dates, as is the current list of dealers, postal administrations and official auctioneers attending from around the world. A first glimpse of the floor plan is found on the last page.
Collectors signed up to receive email updates in the NY 2016 database will be the first to learn about discount accommodation rates offered by the show’s hotel consolidator, Experient, in June. The special myNY2016 calendar feature on the NY 2016 web site will be operational shortly thereafter, allowing everyone to plan their own personal timetable of show meetings and events.
Several dinners sponsored by major societies and organizations are already scheduled. A variety of suggested off-site cultural and sporting activities will be published daily to allow attendees and non-collecting family members the opportunity to enjoy what the “Big Apple” has to offer days and evenings.
Other articles include several summarizing exhibitor information, the availability of a NY 2016 philatelic passport, Liberty Club memberships, and more.
In late breaking news, WSS-NY 2016 is pleased to announce the appointment of Christine Jimenez as the show’s Executive Assistant, handling day-to-day activities of the exhibition as of May 18 at the Collectors Club.
World Stamp Show-NY 2016 takes place May 28-June 4, 2016 at the Javits Center in New York City. Admission all 8 days is free. To learn more, visit http://www.ny2016.org, email info@ny2016.org, and check out the show’s Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest sites.
