Well, I've been knocking it around for awhile and I guess its time to start putting together a chapter dedicated to Illegal Memorabilia Collectors. My hope is to link illegal collectors and promote knowledge sharing through an informative newsletter and correspondance.

Wayne has provided me some time at the convention for an informal meeting where we can meet and discuss future plans. Once we have established a membership base, I'll submit the paperwork for the chapter status.

What I need is feedback from potential members about what you would like to have the club do or things you would like to see. One of the most important things I can use is submissions for the newsletter. I wrote the Texas Chapter's Newsletter for two years with little input and I certainly don't want to do it again.

If you have any comments, please let me know. I'll post things like dues and other news when I'm ready to pull the trigger.

Take care,
Ed Hertel

p.s. - any ideas on a good name?
