The BNA will cooperate with all directives issued by federal, state, and local governments. Additionally, we will adhere to the directives of our host organization, The Knights.

ALL BNA COINS SHOWS
For the Remainder of 2020
All BNA Coin Shows and Bourses for the remainder of 2020 have been canceled. After intense discussion, the officers and Board Of Directors have decided that the risk to dealers, members, and the general public is too great to continue coin shows this year. Additionally, in order to comply with state and local regulations, the club would dramatically have to change the format of our coin shows. This would result in a negative financial impact on the organization.
