That does not really answer my question. Maybe you don't want to answer which is fine. I just find it amazing that someone would enter a new hobby & not ask if there was a national club. Also, that a person would join a local chip collecting chapter & never find out that there is a national (now international) club. Does anyone else reading this find it amazing? It's the first thing I asked about when I started collecting. EVEN if I had not asked there was no way I could have gone 3 years without numerous people telling me about the CC & GTCC!
