Welcome President's Message | Collectors Club at NOJEX 2013 | 125th Anniversary of Der Berliner Philatelisten-Klub The Collectors Club is a group of more than 750 people who have come together to further the study of philately, promote the hobby and provide a social, educational, and non-commercial setting for the enthusiastic enjoyment of our common passion.
President's Message
“I was most pleased to join with many members of the
Collectors Club for February’s Berlin trip to help celebrate the 125th
Anniversary of Der Berliner Philatelisten-Klub. By all accounts this was
an outstanding celebration with representations from the Royal
Philatelic Society and the Collectors Club participating. President
Wolfgang Bauer and his team are to be congratulated for putting together
an outstanding meeting—one of the very best philatelic meetings that I
have ever attended. I also wish to extend my special congratulations to
Bob Odenweller and Kees Adema of the U.S., and Patrick Pearson and
Wolfgang Maassen from Europe for being among the latest recipients of
the Berlin Klub’s most prestigious Lindenberg Medal for outstanding
service to philately. In recognition of the importance of this award,
the four new winners, along with President Bauer, are pictured on the
cover of this edition of the CCP. Finally, special thanks to Wade Saadi
for organizing the U.S. participation in the celebration. Wade’s full
report appears elsewhere in this edition. For those interested in
getting a bit of the flavor of the celebration, I direct you to the

We are pleased to announce that we will hold a Collectors Club Multi-frame Exhibition at this year’s NOJEX Stamp Show. NOJEX is the tri-state’s premier annual philatelic event and the area’s only APS World Series of Philately show. It will be held on Memorial Day weekend, May 24-26, 2013, at the Clarion Hotel in Secaucus, NJ. With more than two hundred exhibition frames available, this will be an excellent opportunity for Club members to show their diverse collecting interests to a wide audience. In addition to the regular NOJEX Awards, there will be a special group of Collectors Club Awards that will also be recorded on a new plaque that will be displayed at the Clubhouse. We will also sponsor a Club dinner on Friday evening May 24th, and hold a series of lectures during the course of the show. A NOJEX prospectus and show information package has been sent to all Club members. Further information on the show is also available at the NOJEX web site (http://www.nojex.org/). Please continue to monitor the Collectors Club website to get information about the latest developments regarding our participation in the show. Members who wish to participate in this exhibition are strongly encouraged to send their applications to NOJEX as soon as possible. We anticipate a strong membership response to this new Club initiative. The 125th Anniversary of Der Berliner Philatelisten-Klub

Society of London joined with fellow philatelists in Berlin on the
weekend of February 15-17, 2013, to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Der Berliner Philatelisten-Klub. By all accounts it was a superb
celebration. We are most pleased to note that Bob Odenweller and Kees

Founded in 1896, the Club counted among its members the leading—even legendary—names in philately. Today's membership is no exception and includes some of the hobby's best-known collectors, exhibitors, and authors. The vast majority of our group, however, are "regular" collectors who have one thing in common—a thirst to share their enjoyment of the hobby and a desire to learn more about collecting among others who take philately seriously.
Our physical "heart" is the Club's landmark five-story brownstone, designed by famed architect Stanford White, located at 35th Street and Madison Avenue in New York City. A $1 million renovation was completed in 2001 to ensure that the Clubhouse will meet our needs now and well into the future. While the majority of our members are from the tri-state area, others come from throughout the US and many foreign countries.
