as well as the previous BoD, has taken their "job" seriously & have always worked to benefit the as well as the hobby. I don't know how you would know if ideas presented to the BoD were/are considered or just blown over...or maybe it's just me that didn't notice that you were "cc'd" on the hundreds of e-mails exchanged between the BoD members just this past year as ideas are discussed. ALL ideas are considered & discussed by the club's BoD. This "Junior Member" idea WAS discussed, but without someone presenting the entire concept behind it (benefits, involvement, costs, etc...), it appears that an Associate Membership could do the same thing. Two great examples -- the "Casino Collectibles Calendar" & the "Greg Susong Memorial Award" were two recent ideas presented to the BoD. Each had a very specific plan & idea...and each is now in place.

Whether or not your comments were directed at this current BoD or not, I take great offense to your comments because I know how much time & effort goes into help guide this club.
