I think that you should take those same suggestions over to the
massage board and offer them there (I don't know to whom in particular). Presentation of different ideas & thoughts are key to helping this club continue. And don't be so sure about "never being a dealer"...after years & years of accumlating chips, you may want to pare down your collection and the convention is a good way to do that (you could even split a table with someone).
Very good suggestions, though...
