Celebrate ATA's 75th in Exclusive Style When You Join ATA's Circle of Maecenas

In Ancient Rome, the name Maecenas became synonymous with "patron" and "benefactor." Gaius Maecenas (shown left), a friend and counselor to Augustus Caesar, was a generous supporter of the arts, especially literature. His sponsorship of such early masters as Horace and Virgil made his name the personification of the ideals of philanthropy and patronage.

In keeping with show-season tradition, ATA is proud to announce the 3rd annual sheet for ATA's Circle of Maecenas, our unique assembly of philatelic benefactors. As a member of the Circle, you will receive a unique, limited-edition gift to recognize your generosity. For a one-time donation of $30, you will receive the 2024 Circle of Maecenas Souvenir Sheet shown below.

This year's edition features a larger format, silver foil embossing
and a custom perforation pattern.

Your donation will help ATA create a remarkable show experience for members and prospective members at National Topical Stamp Show / Great American Stamp Show. You also have the option to donate and receive the previous years' souvenir sheets as well.

This limited-edition souvenir sheet includes five foil-embossed stamps printed on dry gum adhesive paper and perforated in the traditional fashion. Each sheet is individually sleeved with a backer board explaining the stamps and the Circle of Maecenas. The sheet commemorates the 75th anniversary of ATA's founding and features the association's various logos since its inception.

To take advantage of this exclusive opportunity to join ATA's Circle of Maecenas, use the form below to make your donation. You'll have the opportunity to tell us to ship your souvenir sheet or to let us know you'll pick it up in Hartford at the show. There are also options to purchase last year's souvenir sheet (supplies are limited). If you prefer the mail, you can join the Circle of Maecenas by sending your donation of $30 (or more) to ATA Circle of Maecenas, PO Box 2143, Greer, SC 29652-2143. Membership is limited, and the cost of joining at the show (if still available) may increase over this offer.

We hope you will continue the ATA tradition of generous support by joining ATA's Circle of Maecenas.
