The Wisconsin Federation of Stamp Clubs will sponsor a nationwide cover exchange program. Any stamp club, philatelic organization, and individual may participate.

The program is being conducted in conjunction with National Stamp Collecting Month in October. The exchange offer will expire October 31, with returns being made to participants by mid-November.

Participants must submit 10 all-alike covers as well as a large business-sized envelope addressed and franked with 61-cents postage. (Larger envelopes may require additional postage and must be paid by the submitter.) In exchange, 8 different covers will be sent back. The extra covers will be used with the Federation's youth program.

Only unaddressed cacheted covers on #6 envelopes bearing either pictorial or first day cancels from the United States will be accepted. A limit of 20 covers can be submitted. Clubs with leftover show, commemorative, and first day covers can reduce their inventory by exchanging them for different covers that can be used as club auction items, door prizes, or gifts.

The cover exchange program coordinator reserves the right to return covers considered unsatisfactory for exchange.

To submit covers, write to the Wisconsin Federation of Stamp Clubs, P.O. Box 1451, Waukesha, WI 53187.
