President's message for INA - May 2024:

Spring is here! I hope everyone is doing well so far this year.  Gold is at an all time high as I write this with silver also gaining
ground.

We are preparing for shows coming up in April and May. I would like to encourage everyone to attend the Central States Numismatic
Society show in Shaumburg, IL on May 1 through May 4. Central States is celebrating their member states starting with the state of
Iowa at this year's convention. So, I hope that we can represent the state well with our attendance. This is a great opportunity to showcase
coin collecting in our state!

It is an election year for the INA. Anyone interested in assisting us with board member positions, please contact myself or any other
board member. We always appreciate the help of the members in filling these positions and would love to have more people involved.
I am looking forward to attending the Clarion Iowa show and the Fort Dodge Iowa coin shows in the next few weeks. Hopefully I will see
many of you there.

The overall coin market seems to be very strong. I have enjoyed seeing many young numismatists at the shows around the Midwest in
the last months.

I appreciate all the hard work of the board and the members in promoting our hobby.

Respectfully yours,
John Jackson
