2017-02-18 Sat

Stamp Collecting Clubs For Kids, a website managed by a collector named Robert W. Martin, is dedicated to promote the hobby among the younger generation. Stamps cover a wide range of topics like cartoons, famous actors, politicians, cars, trains, planes, boats, motorcycles, dinosaurs, kings and queens, princes and princesses, historical events, plants, animals, and so much more. Martin is trying to create a bigger community by setting up stamp clubs at different locations

Mr. Martin issues a monthly online newsletter called the Philatelikid. One of the articles states that the sixth stamp club started at Kamali’i Elementary School in Kihei has 324 members. As per the website statistics, two-thirds of the children who join the clubs are girls.

His monthly newsletter shares interesting information like deltiology which is the collection, study, and preservation of picture postcards. To start a stamp club contact Martin at Stamp Collecting Clubs For Kids, Attn.: Robert W. Martin, Box 1809, Kihei, HI 96753-1809. Stamp and cash donations are also accepted to supply stamps, hinges, and tongs for club members.
