ALPCA is the Automobile License Plate Collectors Association. Quoting from the www.alpca.org website, “Since 1954, our organization has been dedicated to the promotion of license plate collecting and research, the exchange of information and plates, and the fraternal benefits of sharing a common interest with others throughout the world.”

What’s happening in the world of license plate collectors right now? These days my mind is on the 2016 Automobile License Plate Collectors International Convention that will be held in Fort Wayne, Indiana July 20-23rd.  In case you didn’t know it,  according to www.alpca.org, ALPCA is ” the largest license plate collectors organization in the world. ALPCA currently has 2,710 members from 50 states and 19 countries.” The annual international conventions are typically attended by nearly 500 collectors who are ALPCA members.  If you are a plate collector, go to www.alpca.org and ” Learn about the benefits of membership and then join today!”
