Our Cuban Numismatic Association is progressing very well. As of June 30^th, we have 96 members, who reside in the USA, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Great Britain, Ireland, and Slovakia. Charter Membership expired on June 30^th, so all new members will be designated as regular membership.

Our website www.cubannumismaticassociation.com is on line.

We are eagerly anticipating our January, 2005 FUN meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, so we can meet many of our new members and share good will. We anticipate an exciting meeting with door prizes, an auction, and hopefully some traditional Cuban coffee and guava pastries.

Our membership continues to exude enthusiasm. Many members are volunteering articles of their expertise for our newsletter, and others are eagerly anticipating the information that will be shared by our more experienced members. It appears that the Cuban Numismatic Association is well founded and should continue to thrive for years to come.

Our Cuban Numismatic Association is a member of three other Numismatic organizations.

ANA. We are a member of American Numismatic Association (ANA). As members, we enjoy complimentary space on their host computer for our website (www.cubannumismaticassociation.com).

LANSA. We are a complimentary member of Latin American Paper Money Society (LANSA), and LANSA is also a complimentary member of our Cuban Numismatic Association (CNA).
