Hi guys and gals of Cebu Stamp Club!


I was a member of this one of a kind organization here in Cebu when I was still in College (that was not too long ago) and I enjoyed and learn a lot about techniques and art in stamp collecting. I got started in this hobby when a friend left for another country and he left me all his stamp collection. From then, I want to continue his passion and I started adding and adding his collection.

I am very pleased that you continue working on the organization because I truly believe in its vision. Pls. update me of what's going on and I'll try to be active when I have a spare time.

From Archer:


Cebu Stamp Club is a well organized club in Cebu, it's one of a rare kind so to say. CSCI is not just all about stamps but here you will learn friendship and leadership. We believe through the world of stamps we express our nation, club and our personality. Mabuhay Cebu Stamp Club, to our chairman Richard Allan Uy and to all the members.

The Month in Review
 

Cebu Stamp Club, Incorporated has been getting feedbacks from people who say that they were once stamp collectors. The reason they gave us for not collecting anymore is that people no longer use the snail mail. Thus, they don't have pen pals as they used to. People now prefer to communicate via SMS, online chat, and the email. Of course, it is very convenient to use the internet to send and receive messages and one can make use of this technology to increase ones stamp collection.

 

There are a lot of sites online where people from different countries exchange stamps. One can join these groups and gain new friends as well as stamps from a lot of places. Check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/worldstampsclub/   

and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/allstampsparadise/.

 

This month's meetup will be on May 18, 2008 at the 2nd floor of McDonald's Jones, Cebu City at 2pm. We are expecting some new faces to join us in that meeting.

 

Luke Ferrara (M080002) and Marveliza Ingram (M080003) both from Australia have officially joined the club as well as Fritzie Manatad (M080004).

 

We have just upgraded our homepage and it comes with a refreshing look and design. Even with the limitations, we were still able to add some effects to the site.

 

The club is set to launch two websites this year. The first one is an alternate webpage of Cebu Stamp Club and will be out this month in a different host. Another site called Philippine Stamps will feature complete images of Philippine stamps issued from 1854 to the present.

 

The 2nd Quarter Stamp Auction is scheduled next month and will be held in the same venue at 888 Asian Gourmet, Andres Abellana St., Cebu City.

 

Stamp collectors in the area are invited to join us in the auction. Just text us at 09152621988 for reservations and confirmation of attendance. (reprinted from the CSCI Newsletter May 2008 Issue)

  • Once a friend, click on GROUPS and be part of the CSCI friendster group.
  • Send us your postal and email address. We also prefer if you add us as a friend in yahoo messenger cebustampclub_inc@yahoo.com so we can keep in touch.  

STEP TWO

  • Send us your want list. What country or topic you wish to receive and what stamps you will be sending us.
  • Stamps should be "used" stamps only.
  • Stamps for exchange should be 30 pcs only (15 large and 15 small).
