TLCC Annual Banquet

The 2008 TLCC Annual Banquet was held the evening of Saturday, March 8, 2008 at the Tacoma Elks Lodge. As described by editor Rick Schulz, "Our annual banquet went off without a hitch. The 28 members and guests in attendance were entertained and informed by guest speaker Ross Hanson, president of Northwest Territorial Mint. Ross described his business and plans for the future. Currently he is looking for suitable land in Tacoma for his whole operation and to build a museum."
