Founded in 1933, the Salem Stamp Society, is located in Salem, Oregon. It is dedicated to the hobby of stamps and the enjoyment of the hobby of philately. The club was an early member of the Northwest Federation of Stamp Clubs which is a sponsor of PIPEX, and is affiliated with the Oregon Philatelic Congress and the American Philatelic Society. We are a State of Oregon non-profit organization. Meetings are open to all!

We currently have 95 members and hold monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of each month. Meeting topics are varied and have included APS slide shows, presentations by club members, discussions on Ebay and the internet, and much more. The meetings feature door prizes, a bid board, and club/member auctions. We sponsor two stamp bourses and exhibitions every year in the Spring and Fall. Stampex events draw collectors and dealers from the entire Pacific Northwest.

The next time you are driving near Aumsville (or anywhere in that general direction) be sure to stop in and see club member Raymond Berg, who just happens to be the Postmaster in Aumsville. Ray had a post office table at the club bourse on March 15, 2008.

While taking a drive in the country we (Linda and myself) just happened to stop by and all we could say was WOW! He has the best (hands down) philatelic window we have ever seen in Oregon. He had every issue you could think of PLUS all the post office paraphernalia available to collectors.
