NOVICES TO COLLECTORS: A new club – the Mercer County Chapter of the NJSBS – aims to turn first-timers at button shows into avid collectors.

Helene Plank has set up the meetings, first Wednesdays at 7 p.m., at the Lawrence Headquarters of the Mercer County Library.

She is reaching out to those who attended a show and want to learn the button basics. Shown left to right: Helene, Barbara, Susan, and Donna.
