The
Fulton Stamp Club was formed January 17, 1979. The first formal meeting
took place January 31, 1979 at the Fulton Municipal Building on S.
First Street with eight members present. It was on June 10, 1979 that
the Fulton Stamp Club was officially voted into the Federation of
Central New York Philatelic Societies. Application was made in July
of that year to become a chapter of APS.
On
September 19–20, 1981, the Fulton Stamp Club held its first exhibition
with a special show cancel to honor the 100th anniversary of the American
Red Cross and Dr. Mary Walker. We have had other shows since.
The
club first met twice a month but has since gone to monthly meetings.
Locations have also changed. We met at the Fulton Public Library after
our lengthy stay at the Fulton Municipal Building. We now conduct
our meetings in the Hughes Building formerly the State Street School)
at 314 Park Street.
