The most recent ANA blog, published today, advocates a number of things to include getting involved with local clubs.  One affiliation I am very proud of is my affiliation with the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists (PAN).   Pan has two large shows each year in the Spring and Fall and also sponsors, at each show a day devoted to our YNs.  There are freebies and educational forums and a youth auction on Saturday.  I have already volunteered to take over the YN outreach going forward.  I was a YN at one time and remember the many kindnesses I experienced at coin shops and from older folks giving me coins.   If you live in Pennsylvania and have not joined PAN, please consider it.  If you attend the National Money Show, look for me at the PAN booth. or in the exhibit area.
