Several members of the Florida Paper Collectors Lunch Group told me about this group at the last Summer FUN Show. Two of these people were John Wilson and Gary Lewis, both pastANA presidents. Nancy Wilson was also there when John and Gary talked to me. The group's primary focus is on fiscal paper from Florida but it also has interests in paper fromother states and countries.

The group is guided by Ron Benice of Sarasota, Florida. He can be reached at Benice@Prodigy.net if you want to be put in the queue to attend one of the future lunches. The nextlunch meeting is on January 26. Attendance is by invitation only because of the limited space in the lunch room.

Right now, the group meets at Tony Roma's Restaurant at 8560 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819. The meeting I attended started at about Noon on September 29 withconversation and then lunch. Once the lunch plates were taken away, Ron started the Show & Tell with his paper and then the person next to him started. The meeting ended at about3PM.

The group included many other numismatists known nationally for their work at ANA and other organizations' events so I was surrounded by many old friends. I am sure everynumismatist would have a good time at one of the lunches, but remember it is by invitation only. Good luck.
