The APS All Star Stamp Club was organized by the American Philatelic Society to help you with your future philatelists program. You as leaders are the key people in promoting philately with the youth!

As part of this membership you will be receiving a quarterly newsletter, which will include tips from other youth leaders, program ideas, and reproducible pages for you to use at your meetings. We would like ideas to share with the other leaders in future newsletters, activities such as meeting ideas, games, or special activities.

The children in your club will receive an APS All Star Stamp Club membership card, certificate, a pin, and a philatelic birthday present. We are therefore asking for you to provide your members' names, addresses, and birthdays. This information will be for the APS All Star Stamp Club records only and will never be released.

Participating APS All Star Stamp Clubs must have as their primary purpose the promotion of stamp collecting among elementary and middle school-age children.. Although it is based a nine month school year it is not structured for classroom teaching. For the program to work the children must have the opportunity to be involved in the club for several years.

There is a $15.00 annual fee. Once your club is enrolled, your youth collectors are members of the APS All Star Stamp Club at no cost to them.

We hope that enrolling your club as an APS All Star Stamp Club will be helpful to the good work you already are doing, and that sharing our ideas will be good for all of us now, and for the future of the hobby!
