Donating To Youth Stamp Clubs... If They Even Exist Anymore

HI all

I just kicked a bunch of old car magazines out of a bookcase and into a plastic tote, and shifted some stamp stuff onto that shelf. I found a nice book about stamp history someone bought me that is more for youngsters, and thought I'd mail it to a youth stamp club.

Thing is, I only found a couple of clubs online! Surely there is a kid's club out there who would like a nice book to learn from... or am I simply living in the past? (highly possible...)

Can anyone suggest a youth stamp club who appreciates donations of any type?

You could reach out to your local BSA scout council to find a merit badge counselor who could get the book (etc.) into the hands of youth working on the merit badge.

Boys Town invites donations of stamps and related material. I think they serve girls now too. email is stampcenter@boystown.org

Sequoia Stamp Club of Redwood City, California operates a youth stamp club with several dozen members. Donations are accepted. For details, see www.penpex.org, or send me a private SCF message.

Robert Martin, in Hawaii, runs "Stamp Collecting for Kids." If you would like his address, PM me and I'll send it to you.

Hmmm, Boys Town sounds like a possibility. I saw the HI and NYC ones, was looking for a small-town club, etc.
