Thanks for the help. I joined last summer. I have been collecting chips for several years from all the clubs I have visited in Nevada. Since discovering the CCGT&CC and E-Bay, I have enhanced my collection a lot. Because of the club and this web site, I have learned to appreciate the hobby. It has been fun for my wife and I to understand the clubs and the changes/history that have happened over so many years. Our hope is to be able to be in a position that we can attend the convention in 2009. It is obvious there is a great group of people in this association. - Ed
