Mobile Post Office Society

The Mobile Post Office Society (MPOS) was founded in 1950 by a group of philatelists interested in the study of United States Highway Post Offices. It soon expanded to focus on Railway Post Offices, and eventually to the enroute distribution and postmarking of mail all over the world. It is a nonprofit organization, affiliate #64 of the American Philatelic Society. Annual dues for membership in MPOS are $23/year for ordinary membership which includes a subscription to Transit Postmark Collector, the journal of MPOS which is currently in its 47th year of publication. Further information can be found the website.

Women Exhibitors
Women Exhibitors (WE) - Regional Meeting

Women Exhibitors (WE) was organized in 2007 to provide a vehicle through which women exhibitors can encourage each other through sharing information, ideas, experience, advice, problems and solutions. WE has low membership fees to encourage newcomers to exhibiting and sponsors the Sterling Achievement Award for local, regional and WSP shows to serve as an encouragement to promising exhibits that have been awarded a silver medal or below. Continuing exhibitors serve as mentors and lend support to all as they share lessons learned in the wide world of exhibiting. WE provides a quarterly newsletter and holds a philatelic symposium (WE Fest) every two years at various WSP exhibitions throughout the country. WE membership is open to all, but philately is explored from a women’s point of view. WE are thrilled to be at PIPEX and look forward to meeting new philatelic friends. For more information, stop by our booth or on the website.
