The Hayward Rotary Club will get presentations from members with fascinating collectables in observance of National Collection Day at its lunchtime meeting Monday, Sept. 22, at 1074 B St.
National Collection Day was Sept. 14 and began in 1997 as a grassroots movement in a small town. The event was such a hit that it gained popularity, with collectors hosting local gatherings and events. The internet played a crucial role in the growth of this day, as collectors started sharing their collections online, inspiring others to showcase their own.
