ANA Board makes Fall National Money Show appointments

The Texas Numismatic Association and the Dallas Coin Club were appointed as host clubs for the 2012 Dallas National Money Show by the American Numismatic Association Board of Governors in a unanimous vote during a Feb. 21 teleconference meeting. The show will be held Oct. 18-20 at the Dallas Convention Center.

“It was necessary to conduct a brief open session to take care of a few housekeeping measures to keep association business moving forward,” ANA President Tom Hallenbeck said. “Naming the host chairman, host clubs and honorary clubs will allow the ANA staff and these clubs to begin working together on what will be a fantastic fall show.”

During this brief meeting to approve appointments, ANA member Tony Hales, of Richardson, Texas, was named the local host chairman for the fall show.

The Fort Worth Coin Club, Northeast Tarrant Coin Club, Collin County Coin Club, Mid Cities Coin Club, Richardson Coin Club and Numismatics International were named as honorary host clubs for the show in a unanimous vote. 

In a motion by Gov. Clifford Mishler, which was seconded by Vice President Walter Ostromecki, Richard Horst was named as an Association Assistant Treasurer and approved as a signer on the Association’s bank account. The motion passed 8-0, with Gov. Greg Lyon absent, as he had to leave the meeting prior to this vote.
