Rio 2016 Olympic Collector Luncheon

Olympic Collector Luncheon – Sunday, 7 August 2016

Roberto Gesta De Melo, an active Olympic philatelist and collector, generously hosted a luncheon for all members of Sports Philatelists International and the Olympin Collectors Club (both AICO member associations) at the La Cabrera Restaurant on Sunday, August 7, Day 3 of the Rio Olympic Games! Taking over the second floor of the restaurant, dozens of collectors gathered to enjoy good food, swapping stories — and of course trading pins! Thanks to Roberto for organizing this event, and to AICO Treasurer, Branislav Delej, for contributing this gallery of photos.
