Sequoia Stamp Club

On September 30, 2022, the Sequoia Stamp Club turned 75 years old. The Sequoia Stamp Club is a place to learn, share and get encouragement from others who love stamp collecting. Our philatelic interests are what draw us to our club meetings. Some of us collect U.S. stamps, others worldwide and some cannot make up their mind and collect everything. We also have others who do not even collect postage stamps but revenue or Cinderella stamps. We hope you will join us.
