Hi David:

It is clear to me that you are a very organized person and that your work for the Club and the hobby has benefited the hobby greatly. I also appreciate your comments about chip values and how the enjoyment of the hobby is equally (if not more) important.

Yet, I have two questions which has been on my mind for a while now:

1) Demonstrating that you definately have the available time to be an active and postive member of the BOD, I do wonder if being an author of the key Nevada Chip Guide "The Chip Rack" and a key member of the BOD could cause a form of conflict in your role on the BOD. Should I have such concerns?

2) Although this question could easily be directed to the President or Membership ... but as we both are non-USA International Members ... what do you see as an effective way to draw greater interest in the Club from International chip collectors? (which I feel is very important in the growth of the hobby and the Club ... I thought I heard there was only 40 or so International Members).

Thank you David,

Cheers,
