Monroe County's largest stamp collecting organization with nearly 100 members from throughout the region. We welcome adults and kids alike, and offer family memberships.

The Rochester Philatelic Association (RPA) was formed by 13 stamp collectors in 1913 as a way to share their common interest in philately. Current membership continues to grow, with members residing in nine states and Canada. We're one of America's most active (and we believe friendliest!) stamp clubs. Read all about us and what we can offer you!

Whether you're a beginner or specialist, the RPA offers you many services and benefits. Our newsletter, "Hinges& Tongs," is filled with articles about collecting in general and informs members about upcoming meetings and events.

For those in the upstate New York area, we invite you to attend RPA meetings in person. We meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of most months between September and June. November and December we meet only once on the second Thursday. Our headquarters is at the Village at Unity-Village Square Community Room, 1477 Long Pond Road in Greece.  Buy/sell/trade runs from 7:00-7:30 PM, followed by the formal meeting at 7:30 PM. A silent auction concludes most evening's program.
