I suggest that you check out Marianne Dow’sFindlay Antique Bottle Club Official Website and Blog. Marianne is extremely connected and always has the latest news. She tells me that she spends countless hours searching thru other internet sites for the stories she posts. Well done Marianne. Keep up the great work. This is a Great way to promote our hobby and get new interest, especially with the younger generation.
I hope that other bottle clubs are headed in this direction with blogs and digital newsletters. I know Dave Maryo is doing this with the Los Angeles Historical Bottle Club.
