Kris McIntosh is the new chair of the Education Department of the American First Day Cover Society. The retired high school social studies teacher in Fort Worth, Texas, schools has already been demonstrating FDCs as teaching aids, both online and at social studies teachers' conventions. This new position will expand upon her advocacy of covers in education. The department also includes youth activities, audio-visual programs, and online programming. Gary Denis, the previous Education Chair, continues as chair of the Publications Committee. The AFDCS earns its not-for-profit status as a 501(c)3 organization for its educational activities. As Education Chair, McIntosh will have a seat on the society's Executive Committee. She was also just elected, separately, to her first term on the AFDCS Board of Directors. McIntosh lives in a recreational vehicle and spends the year traveling through several western states. She is a member of the Fred Sawyer North Texas Chapter of the AFDCS and collects and exhibits the 1936 Susan B. Anthony (Sc. 784) and the 1948 Progress of Women (Sc. 959) issues. The AFDCS's publications include handbooks, catalogs, directories, and its award-winning journal First Days. The society also produces some FDCs, advocates for first-day cover collecting and exhibiting, and is a cosponsor of the big national stamp collecting show each summer. The Great American Stamp Show is currently scheduled for August 12-15 in the Chicago area. For more information on the AFDCS, visit its website www.afdcs.org, email [email protected] or write to the society at Post Office Box 246, Colonial Beach, VA 22443-0246.
