“On the night of March 2, 1932 a group
gathered on the office of T O Trotter in the First National
Bank Building in Chattanooga to organize a club for stamp
collectors. The hobby of stamp collecting had grown in the
Chattanooga area such that it was felt an organization of
this type was in order. Word was sent out to all known collectors
to be present.” Those are the words of Bob Millard, News
Editor in 1970 when he memorialized the history of the Club.
Over the years there have been many changes, but the stated
purpose of our Club today is very much as it was in the
beginning, ‘…to encourage and promote the hobby of stamp
collecting, to assist its members in the acquiring and disposing
of stamps, and to promote sociability among its members’.
Today as in the past our membership is wide and varied in
experience, and collecting interests. Our meetings are always
fun, with auctions, picnics and parties mixed with some
of the more serious aspects of our hobby. We learn from
each other as well as from outside our membership.
The Chattanooga Stamp Club dues are modest, at $10 per year.
We meet at the Shallowford mail facility on the second Thursday
of each month beginning at 7:30pm. Visitors from the Chattanooga
area as well as the region are cordially welcome. Ya’ll
come!
