Schedule
Week 1: October 3
We start off the month with Greg Galletti, lifelong philatelist, APS Board Vice President, and Chairman of UNEXPO 2023. Greg and several guests will share their experience and passion for United Nations philately in anticipation of UNEXPO, which will be held at the American Philatelic Center in Bellefonte on October 20-21.

Week 5: October 31
We’ll wrap up the month on Halloween night with Ron Breznay’s “The Philately and Deltiology of Walpurgisnacht and the Hexentanzplatz” — that's Walpurgis Night and the "Witches' Dance Floor" for all you non-German speakers out there. Join Ron for a super-spooky presentation combines philately and horror for all the thrills and chills you need this Halloween.
