The U. S. Postal Service conducted its First Day of Issue Ceremony for this year's Hunting Permit Stamps (Duck Stamps) at multiple locations throughout the country. One of these sites was in Myrtle Beach, at the Bass Pro Shops. The Myrtle Beach Stamp Club was represented by several people, including Donn and Georgine Ebert, Don Paine and Betsy and Charlie Davio. The following are some pictures, showing shots of the opening ceremony, various speakers (from Bass Pro Shops, the USPS, Senator Graham's office and Ducks Unlimited), the "unveiling," and our club members.
