Years ago I belonged to this local club. Lately I have been trying to find out where they are meeting and when. Google searches bring up results 10-15 years old. Nothing current on it.

Is anyone on here familiar with this club and if so can you provide me a link to a current website or Facebook page?

Thanks! I think I stumbled across that page in my search earlier but then saw the meeting site and sort of assumed it was an old, outdated page since it is a different venue from where they used to meet. This venue is about a ten minute drive from my home. Looks like they are meeting this Friday. Great!

Congrats on finding the Omaha Club again!

Lincoln club split into two groups - in case you ever head west!

My wife went with me tonight and I attended my first meeting since 2010. I wound up joining and had beginner's luck; won the raffle, walked out with a 1962 Canada Dollar BU. The wife really got into it, bought some Walking Liberty halves, now she wants to look at my coins, she never seemed interested before. This may be the start of an interesting phase of my hobby life. Thanks to all who responded.

Reopening this thread.I went to some meetings and then drifted away. Want to go back and clicked on the link above to check on the next meeting date. I get some site in Chinese, clearly not the Coin club. Did a Google search and couldn't find anything other than this link. Anyone local know whats going on?

There's contact information on this page -- maybe that will help.

Coin clubs are not as popular as they used to be. Around where I live they all seamed to just fade away.

If you joined the club in April aren't they sending you a newsletter or some kind of monthly meeting notice?

Thanks. I sent a message so we'll see.

I attended a few meetings over last Summer and got the feeling the club was sort of fading away.

They apparently don't send out a newsletter. It is on the site and you can read or download it. I sent a message via the link that Alpha provided and no reply as yet. I am not holding my breath. Why can't clubs have officials who look at their email one in awhile?

This isn't looking good.

So if you get back into the club volunteer to take over responsibility for the newsletter. Apparently they need someone responsible to do so, as you pointed out yourself.
