WRBA was established in 2003 -- the brain child of button dealer
and collector, Gilberte "Gil" Biggie. Gil had moved from the east
coast to Reno, Nevada. She enjoyed the camaraderie of the state clubs
and recognized that there was an opportunity to add to the hobby network.
Gil coordinated the first convention with great success. Officers were
elected, and in 2004 the organization took formal structure with a
Constitution and Bylaws -- and a second excellent Show. All are
welcome to join, however, WRBA is intended especially for individuals living
in the following U.S. states and Canadian provinces: Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana, California, Nevada, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado,
Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, British Columbia, and Alberta.
Membership is $25 per year for adults; $5 per year for juniors, and
dual membership (2 people at the same address; only 1 newsletter) is $35.
Life Membership is $200.
