Perhaps some questions will be answered a Special Meeting of "all Fellows and Associate Members" called for Saturday, January 15th, 2000 at 11:00 AM at the Society's headquarters.

An opinion article by George S. Cuhaj in the December 21, 1999 issue of Numismatic News calls "Save our Society!". The headline reads "ANS supporters must come through now."

The article says that a long-running deficit has forced severe budget cuts. "...the only editor has already been dismissed, and the curators have been told that their numbers would be reduced from five to two or three within 45 days." Cuhaj calls for firm action, in the form of financial support, from dealers and collectors in the numismatic community.
