GULFPEX 2021
The members and officers of Gulf Coast Stamp Club would like to thank everyone who worked on and/or attended our Spring Gulfpex show held on April 16, and 17, 2021. We had 10 dealers from five states. All had to brave bad weather, but all come and stayed for the duration of the show. Our exhibits were fantastic! A special "Thank You" to all members of the public who came to check us out. Our next show is October 1 & 2, 2021.

GULFPEX 2021 Spring Show was a resounding success! Thanks to all the GCSC Board Members and local members who pitched in to help. Cathy M. was helping everywhere at the same time. She was the glue that helped stick the whole thing together. Tom A. was like a Post-It note. First he was stuck over there then over there. Wherever he went, he and his gracious wife, Pat, lent a hand in all activities. Thanks to all the dealers who made our show a success. They traveled far to bring their philatelic goods to our local buyers. Let's do this again In October. Watch our website for details.

Passover is observed for seven days in Israel and eight days in the Diaspora. The main event of the Passover holiday is the seder (literally, “order”), a festive meal in which the haggadah (the book of Exodus and related writings) is recited in a set order. During the entire duration of the holiday, it is forbidden to eat leavened food products (such as bread, pasta, etc.). The reason for this is that Jewish tradition states that in their haste to escape from Egypt the Jews did not have enough time to wait for bread to rise. Instead, they ate matzah, unleavened bread. Part of the Passover seder includes hiding the afikoman (half of a matzah that is kept between two other matzahs during the seder and later hidden). Children search for the afikoman and usually receive a prize for finding it.
