Over the years, we have seen how the great members of this club have responded in volunteering their time, effort & knowledge. Since having a "place" where we and the public could sit-down and enjoy the history of our hobby seems to still be some time away, wouldn't it be wise to use some of the MOGH's current funds to really develop the MOGH website to where people can view on-line? For example...do I care if the MOGH has in hand a first issue $100 Bugsy Flamingo chip? Not really, but it sure would be cool to be able to see it on-line as a part of the history of The Flamingo that would include an article(s), napkins, postcards, ashtrays, swizzle sticks, photos....you name it. And I would almost bet that this club has members that have some of the best collectibles noted in this and most other examples.

I apologize if I am speaking out of line, but as a first step, couldn't WE as the and the MOGH at least develop a place on the MOGH website to display something like that. The CCTN has had some FANTASTIC articles that have included some great history including chips & other novelties. What a great starting point...and if the call could be made, not for the items themselves, but for quality scans or pictures of related items, then the MOGH could produce an excellent platform to provide both outsiders and members an insight as to what the MOGH will eventually be.

Mike Quinlivan with his collection from the Flamingo Capri or Allan Anderson with everything at his fingertips from the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Pam G's great article on the West-side Las Vegas casinos...it seems (at least in my little pea brain) that it would take much less work to put something together on the MOGH website sooner rather than later. This would probably increase exposure for the MOGH & then with this exposure, hopefully future funds for the MOGH would grow.

Okay...I'm done. Once again, I apologize if I've stepped on any toes. It just seems that we are under-utilizing our club's greatest asset -- it's members.
