Stamp collecting is in the news again, featured by the Long Island, New York newspaper, Newsday.
"A Hobby that Sticks: Stamp Collecting keeps people glued during pandemic" features APS members: two former presidents, Stephen Reinhard and Wade Saadi, and longtime member Ron Huetter.
APS Executive Director Scott English is also interviewed about the organization's growth:
"We’ve seen membership applications grow significantly," he said. They’ve also seen demographic shifts. While 80% of APS members are over 60 and only 9% of all members are women, half of the new applications are female, English said. "Applications are substantially more female, diverse and younger."
While the article is already available on the Newsday website, it will also appear in the Sunday, October 11, 2020 issue of Newsday.
