Greetings and Salutations!

Hello Stackers and Stackettes. :) I hope life in your corners of the world is going well. I am getting ready for a vacay to the "Big Apple", so it's happy days for me.

As you may remember, a few of us got together in Las Vegas at the end of March. To inspire FOMO for next year's get together, here is a picture of the crew having the BEST time during one of our nights out.

^{Back row: @brian.rrr, @summertooth, @fat-elvis (TOTALLY NOT FAT), silverd's girl and @silverd510 (incognito), @davedickeyyall and his girl @bethvalverde. Front row: @enginewitty and (me) @dfinney.}

In other stacking clan news... I am here today to welcome new members into our group.

Membership

Please extend a warm welcome to our newest members @thebighigg and @dbooster.

SHERIFF back in the wild west cowboy days!@thebighigg was nominated by @silversaver888 with a second from @handofzara. Every few days (for months) thebigghigg has been pumping out coin/precious metals posts. I see (him?) interacting frequently on chain with community members (which is very heartening).

@dbooster was nominated to join SGS by @trumpman, with a second by @goldrooster. This all happened in our community discord since @vgholdingsllc (our nomination post maker/tracker) has been moving house and away from Hive for a little bit. @dbooster, did you even know you could be/were nominated to join our motley crew? :) @dbooster (David) is an Italian-American expat living in Japan. On his blog he shares photos and cultural insights from life in Japan, as well as the most beautiful Japanese coins. I love to see them as the Japanese atheistic is always refined/elegant/delicate, and the coins are unique compared to what many of us share on chain. In honor of @dbooster's love of haiku...

Silver, gold stackers
Collectors, numismatists
Buying ALL the coins

On the blockchain, the Silver Gold Stackers community provides support to DELEGATING MEMBERS (who post about precious metals using the tag #silvergoldstackers) through the @ssg-community account. This account is run on both Hive and Steem. If you have questions about delegating, subscriptions via liquid hive or steem or have "missed a vote", please reach out directly to @buggedout (Hive) or @welshstacker (Steem) on discord. In order to promote interest in the community, the @ssg-community account will occasionally support others on the blockchain sharing about precious metals
