THE MAYOR OF NEWPORT KENTUCKY CAME TO VISIT MY STORE THIS MORNING ... (HON. JERRY PELUSO) ... HE WAS HERE IN LAS VEGAS ON BUSINESS AND WE HAD A CUP OF COFFEE AND WE TALKED ABOUT NEWPORT'S GAMBLING HISTORY. HE WANTS TO START A NEWPORT KENTUCKY MUSEUM INCLUDING THE HISTORY OF ILLEGAL CLUBS AND GAMBLING HOUSES IN BOTH NEWPORT & COVINGTON.
I DONATED A FEW ITEMS TO HIM AND GAVE HIM ISSUES OF OUR CLUB MAGAZINE TO TAKE HOME. I WILL PUT THE MAYOR IN CONTACT WITH JERRY VERGATOS AND THEY CAN DISCUSS THIS TOPIC FURTHER ..

I TOLD HIM TO CALL ME WHEN HE IS READY TO ACCEPT COLLECTIBLES & ARTIFACTS FOR THEIR MUSEUM. HE SAID THE CLUB COULD HAVE A PRESENCE & DISPLAY AS WELL. A VERY NICE MAN AND I AM EXCITED THAT SOMETHING GOOD WILL COME OF THIS. MORE NEWS TO FOLLOW ... THANKS RICH BURGEL
