WOW is what I want to say first. What a large and great group of people we shared the afternoon with.  Today we spoke to the October 14th  WOW is what I want to say first. What a large and great group of people we shared the afternoon with.  Today we spoke to the Retired Educators and Administration from the Manchester N.H. Area. There were over 170 people in attendance and I have to say it was a little overwhelming at first. But when I began speaking they made me feel so comfortable and relaxed.  Nice crowd, nice lunch, and great conversations. I want to thank Joyceann for inviting us to the event at The Yard Convention Center for this meeting.  Wednesday :

Looking forward to seeing some of those retired teachers in the shop soon.

We spent a nice evening with The St Elizabeth Seton Women's Guild of Bedford N.H..  It was a pleasure sharing some stories with them and a little education. Some of the ladies brought in a couple of items to share with the others and we did some appraising of them. I think the highlight of the evening was a woman who brought in an early currency note (silver certificate), that she was surprised to see valued out at over $ 1,000.00. (Nice night for her, and I did here the ladies say dinner should be on her soon ).  Over all it was was a wonderful night and I thank Ron Boufford of Global Coin Exchange for joining me again. 

Thanks to all the ladies for having us and maybe we will see them again.

A brief note about the Guild:

The St. Elizabeth Seton Women’s Guild promotes spiritual activities in the Parish, and fosters social and cultural activities among the members of the organization. At the heart of the Guild is friendship and support. Women of all ages come together to listen and to learn from each others life experiences, all the while enjoying, appreciating and benefiting from the time spent together in worship, in service, and in fellowship.

 Today we spent some time at a fund raising appraisal event for the Goffstown N.H. Historical Association.  It was the perfect day for it . Sunny crisp and their were lots of home cooked fall cookies and of course apple cider.

 Traffic was steady with two or three items per person.  We saw a lot of interesting items, some with some unexpected values . This is what I enjoy the most about doing this kind of event.  The happiness education of  certain things people own brings to them when you tell them.

 I want to thank all the woman of the association and participants.  I also want to thank my good friend Ron Boufford (from Global Coins) to be on hand for extra assistance in his field.

Great day !!! and look forward to doing it again.

Royal Red Hat Society Pelham N.H.

On Tuesday we had the pleasure of returning to see Terry and her friends at the Royal Red Hats

Society of Pelham N.H. for a buying event.

Although I was unable to attend personally, Ron and his friend did a great job and had lots of fun with visiting with this charming group.  This was our first group buying event.  It was fun and quite successful for them and seemed to please all who attended.

I want to thank Terry and her friends for having us again and thank them for the purchases that were made.  We look forward to seeing them again soon, when they plan to come to visit InfusionNH at the Antique Center.

If you have a group and would like to have us come in for a buying event just call me at 1.603.624.8668 for details.

10 February 2009 - We had the pleasure of meeting with Terry and her friends today for an appraisal event and short chat. We were out in Pelham N.H. at The Royal Red Hats Society monthly meeting. This group consist of 75 members and have been together for approximately 5-6 years now.

We has a lot of fun going through the items the women brought in. Ron Boufford (our coin specialist) said he was impressed!! He had heard a lot about the Red Hats Society but didn't know there was such a large following.

It was a pleasure and we hope to go back again to share more information with this wonderful group of women. Our hats off to you all... What a nice group.

On Monday March 30th we visited the folks at the Ridgewood Center in Bedford N.H.  After a brief speech, we enjoyed sharing the history and values of items brought to us by some of the residents and staff. It was a nice afternoon and we will be going back to visit again in June. 

I want to say thank you to Sherry Pedra for having us. and we look forward to our next visit.

We had the pleasure of sharing a fund raising event (Seniors Feed N.H.) for the New Hampshire Food Bank last evening at The Bedford Hills Care and Rehab Center on Colby Court in Bedford N.H. Ron Boufford (coin specialist) and I had a lot of fun appraising items brought in for the event. There were a lot of people and a special silent auction besides.

I had an opportunity to work with Matthew Mead again as well. He was there to share his 3 published books and to personally autograph them as they were purchased. It was nice chating with him throughout the 2 hour event. His creativity is overwhelming.

We want to thank Katie for inviting us and we hope (it seemed so) the event was a success.

Thanks for a wonderful evening.  Donna

What a fun afternoon I spent with this woman's group today. First we had a special guest ,my friend

Ron Boufford. He spoke for a short period on how to detect good coins or currency. After Ron's presentation, I had the pleasure of going through some of the nice items that the girls brought in for an appraisal. I think one of the neatest things for today was a mustache curling iron with the original burner in the original box. This is why I love my job. All the things one can see on an everyday basis.

I want to thank all the girls for coming to the shop today and for having Ron and I as guest speakers. It was an enjoyable afternoon. Hope to see you in the shop!!!    Donna

The Goffstown Mothers Club decided to step out this evening and have their meeting at From Out Of The Woods. They provided coffee and snacks and I provided some education and appraisals. I was accompanied this evening by my good friend Ron Boufford from Global Coins.  Ron got a chance to explain to the ladies , that in this economy to be careful about how they might sell their coins. Scrapping may not be the only or right way to get the best value for them . He said that you should check with someone you can trust to guide you first.

It was an interesting evening and we shared a lot of laughs together between all the seriousness. I also had a chance to learn about this group that has been around for 65 years helping the local community. My hats off to you girls:) - Donna
