The Rochester Philatelic Association (RPA) was formed by 13
stamp collectors in 1913 as a way to share their common interest
in philately. Current membership has grown to 98, with
members residing in nine states and Canada. We're one of
America's most active (and we believe friendliest!) stamp
clubs. Read all about us and what we can offer you!
Whether you're a beginner or specialist, the RPA offers you many
services and benefits. Our newsletter, "Hinges
& Tongs," is filled with articles about collecting in
general and informs members about upcoming meetings and events.
The club's philatelic library holds several hundred books, magazines
and periodicals, including worldwide catalogs. These may be borrowed
without cost by RPA members.
For those in the upstate New York area, we invite you to attend
RPA meetings in person. They take place on the second and fourth Thursdays
of most months between September and June, November and December only
once on the second Thursday.
Meetings are at the JCC of Greater Rochester in Brighton at
1200 Edgewood Avenue in Room A. Buy/sell/trade runs
from 7:00-7:30 PM, followed by the formal meeting at 7:30 PM. A silent
auction concludes most evening's program.
