Whitman Coin & Collectibles Expo Cancels June Bourse, Plans to Reopen in November
Maryland’s ongoing state of emergency, declared March 12 by Governor Larry Hogan to help control the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, has closed the June 2020 Whitman Coin & Collectibles Expo bourse. The Expo, originally scheduled for June 18–20 at the Baltimore Convention Center, will be closed for all bourse activities including dealer buying and selling, educational programs, and club meetings. The auction of Stack’s Bowers Galleries will be held on the previously announced dates at its California home offices.
At this point the county is not closing the senior centers. They do recommend that if the event can be postponed to do so (we would have to cancel).

I urge all members to consider their own personal situation when deciding whether to attend the meeting.
So that MCCC can maintain an environment beneficial to all who attend our meetings, the club’s Board passed the following rules that will become effective for the meeting on February 11, 2020.
