Welcome George at the CCCC discussion forum! We hope that many will follow.
Holger

Let me introduce myself, in case you are not familiar with my name: I am Renata Thompson and since several years I am Managing Director of the CCCC. Most of the time it is fun, although lots of work, but sometimes, I wished somebody else would do the work for me if there are complaints or troubles with a member.

We have what I call a Management Team of a few dedicated OMs who do part of the work, like Holger Kaufhold who is in charge of Records and Statistics, Tom Fortunato, who is maintaining the website etc. , Dmytro Bykovets, who is doing Quality Control and he proofreads my monthly lists that go out to OMs, and occasionally is writing letters to members who mail poor covers etc. Jeff Hayward has, since several months been Editor of the CCCCNew and plays an important role in getting information out to the CMs.

On a personal basis: what do I collect: stamps, mint and used. Some countries I try to have complete, in others, I just save what comes my way, but mainly, I am eager to receive FDCs, if possible unaddressed, special cancels, covers with imprinted stamps.
I am always eager to trade covers, so if you have any to offer, let me know and we may come to an agreement to trade. But, please, contact me first.

Hi Renate,
I am glad to see that you made it!
Best regards
Holger

Hi! I am Alexandros Fragias from Kifissia, Greece CCCC 80557. I am worldwide known as one with a sour tongue, because I speak always the truth and always speak out my thoughts and opinion, whichever the circumstances.
I collect postal stationery mint and/or used mainly from European countries, but any stationery is wellcomed where ever it comes. I also collect covers worldwide, so I do not care where the letters are coming from; also postcards with horses are welcomed worldwide.
Do not worry if I am late to answer to you (I usually am late in answering for no particular reason; it just happens) but I will answer all letters and messages I receive.

Regards
Alexandros

Hi to Everybody from INDIA ! I am DEBASHIS MITRA, CCCC 90440. I am an OM with code # "DW"

I joined CCCC during 2001 and I learned many things about cover collection between 2001 till 2004. I became an OM during 2004 and I always strive to mail out nice covers particularly First Day Covers to CCCC members.

I am a collector of used stamps of Great Britain, Australia and Sri Lanka. Besides I am developing a collection of Souvenir Sheets/Miniature sheets and as I am new to this, I would solicit help from my CCCC colleagues. I would be happy to get CCCC covers for my collection on popular topics.

I will oblige any CCCC member with covers relating to particular themes provided that kind of stamp is available in India. I now have 2008 Butterfly Miniature Sheet and Jasmine Miniature Sheet to spare.


Do not worry if I am late to answer ( I usually am late in answering for no particular reason; it just happens) but I will answer all letters and messages I receive.

Hello everybody. It is nice to have this place for members to contact each other.
I'm from Malaysia, #OMBT 84376. It is my pleasure to invite you all to visit my blog at http://www.myworldcoverscollection.blogspot.com for some of my collection as a member of CCCC.

Hello from Canada!
I am Eve, and I am new to CCCC, introduced by my friend in Israel, Meir Kasirer.
So far I have one cover from Canada, and one from the USA.
I look froward to other surprises. I also have a favorite stamp topic, which is birds.
My favorite covers are , birds(of course) return to sender with a red hand, and miniature sheet covers.
Canada doesn't issue too many commems in international rate, so I will always do my best to include a complete set of new issues on a cover, or FDC if the timing is right.
My number is 91060, and I am happy to meet you all.

Welcome to the CCCC family Eve!
I am sure, many nice covers will follow those you've got already.
You may send me a OM form 10.
Best regards

Holger
