American Philatelic Society joins CAPEX 22 as Partner Level Sponsor

David McLaughlin, Chairman CAPEX 22, and Scott English, Executive Director American Philatelic Society (APS), are pleased to announce that the APS has joined CAPEX 22 as a Partner Level Sponsor.

“I am really excited to welcome the American Philatelic Society as a partner Level Sponsor of the CAPEX 22 International One Frame Stamp Championship Exhibition” said McLaughlin, adding “The development of One Frame exhibiting has its roots in the United States. Canada was any early adopter of the new format and hosted AmeriStamp Expo and the One Frame Champion of Champions in Toronto in both 1998 and 2006. The Royal Philatelic Society of Canada (RPSC) and APS jointly submitted a proposal to FIP for a One Frame class which was accepted by the FIP Congress in 2006. I am pleased that we are again partnering with APS on the CAPEX 22 International One Frame Stamp Championship Exhibition, the first such exhibition in the world”

“We’re excited to partner with the CAPEX 22 to bring this unique exhibiting experience to the world”, adds English. “We’ve been waiting for years to return to Canada to share the joys of philately with our neighbors and are thankful to the organizers for this great opportunity. The CAPEX 22 organizers set an ambitious goal celebrating the single-frame exhibit. The result will be a histor- ic showing of one of the largest single-frame exhibitions ever. To all of our fellow APS members in Canada and abroad, we look forward to seeing you in Toronto next June!”
