A flyer posted in the in the Post Office announcing the 2012 Mid-Cities Stamp Expo rekindled my interest in stamp collecting. I enjoyed attending the Mid-Cities Stamp Club meeting in Irving, Texas on Wednesday night 15 August 2012. The members of this club gave me a warm welcome and encouraged me to pursue my interest in stamp collecting. The program about Tin Can Mail service on Niuafoʻou (also known as Good Hope and Tin Can) island in the Kingdom of Tonga in the southern Pacific Ocean was both interesting and informative. I made some new friends and learned about the Dallas Park-Cities Philatelic Society. There are all kinds of opportunities to make new friends, and the more friends you make the more likely you are to find employment possibilities while doing things you enjoy.
