Arn Symposium

This year's Symposium will be Saturday, March 29, with events starting Friday evening.  As usual, the Symposium will be at the BEST WESTERN LAKE FRONT INN & CONFERENCE CENTER, MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON.  Four scheduled speakers, two auctions, friendships, sharing philatelic interests with like-minded collectors: this is a very satisfying event for its participants.  See the Announcement and the Registration form.  Also see the full schedule and a page of the bios of the speakers.

What is the Northwest Federation?

The Northwest Federation of Stamp Clubs has some 35 member clubs and philatelic organizations in Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Oregon. The organization has served as a common cause meeting ground for organized philatelic interests within these states and provinces for almost 100 years.

The federation hosts PIPEX (Pacific International Philatelic Exposition) annual APS World Series of Philately (WSP) show. The Federation is the only organization of its type with cross border membership and WSP exhibition sponsorship. It continues its member organization communications with THE FEDERATED PHILATELIST newsletter and this web site. The annual Federation meeting takes place at the annual PIPEX show!
