Do they make transcripts available after the chat? I always find it better to read the information, rather than try and follow someone speech.

Then scroll down and slect "show transcript" and then they will appear on right side of video. There may be a faster way.

re: News from APS

While trying to understand the subject matter of the YouTube contribution, does pronunciation really detract from understanding, ultimately, the subject matter, when you already fully understand the meaning intended? I thought about that for a while and my head hurt. I had a tall 14 year (old, I mean aged in oak barrels, they say) GlenWhatsIt and reached a conclusion: While growing up is possible amongst my demographic, and I advise it, it may, perhaps not be ideal for longevity.

I spend all my time with covers; if you have cover requests, I'm happy to act on your behalf. Feel free to DM me if you want to chat. I actually enjoy looking at covers with an eye towards others' collections as well as my own. So many more chances for success.

Al, how do these things usually go? I've tried a few Zoom meetings with other organizations and they were kind of a waste of time as everyone seemed too shy to talk. I've not attended an APS Zoom meeting, though, and was wondering if they're any different.

re: News from APS

I have attended a few of these calls and there are always interesting ideas raised but there is no silver bullet since implementation does not guarantee immediate results. Yes, some never talk (not one to say much myself) but usually a core set will speak up.

For example, a group named "Learning about Stamps Online" just had a zoom meeting to discuss improving clubs.

Link to group:

https://learningaboutstamps.org/

Under PROGRAMS, you will see links to their two recent zoom meetings.

I do not belong to a local stamp club since they meet at night and too far away. I liked one club that had meetings Sunday PM for auctions, etc. and then a separate zoom meeting to do educational.

APS Announces Partnership with Grouper

The APS is thrilled to announce a partnership with Grouper, an organization that provides benefits to seniors for staying active in their communities, including covering costs associated with group activities. According to the United States Surgeon General, staying socially active in group activities has proven health benefits and is critical for older Americans, who have above-average risks of social isolation and depression.

APS members with an eligible Medicare Advantage or Medicare Supplement plan can receive a $50 check from Grouper just for engaging in group philatelic activities! And if you continue to stay active in those activities, Grouper will send you a $20 social wellness incentive every three months.

From stamp shows to club meetings, APS activities keep our members socially connected and promote a healthier, more fulfilling life. We know you value the community and camaraderie of the hobby; let Grouper support those values.

To see if you qualify, visit https://hellogrouper.com/aps. Questions? Please contact Grouper’s Member Engagement Team at 833-445-2400 or info@hellogrouper.com
