Regular Monthly Meeting

Prior to the Business Meeting of the SNCCC, we conducted our regular auction, beginning at 6:45 pm, which ran for 20 minutes. Following the auction, our Guest Speaker, Mr. Lonnie Hammargren, presented some of his recollections of being a neurosurgeon to the sports world and eclectic collector of stuff. This was followed by a brief break and a reconciliation of the auction.
The meeting was called to order by President Jerry Vergatos at 7:45 p.m. with 37 members and guests in attendance. Next month’s meeting (May 8th) will be held in the Salon A at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino, as will all meetings through December of 2018.

NEWSLETTER OF THE SOUTHERN NEVADA CASINO COLLECTIBLES CLUB
May, 2018
Greetings to all our members!
I hope everyone is enjoying the great weather.
CONVENTION TABLE
The Board of Directors has approved the purchase of a ½ table at the upcoming CCA convention. Tree Shields has graciously offered to work the table for the duration of the convention. Rich Burgel has also offered to provide some giveaways for prospective members. Thank you both for your great offer and show of support. Anyone wishing to volunteer to help tree is certainly welcome.
SPEAKER
This month’s speaker will be THE DUKE OF FREMONT STREET. He has spoken before to us and as usual, offers a great insight into the past of Las Vegas. He is an avid collector, a trader of vintage US coin & currency, and a true treasure hunter and adventurer! His presentation will be very interesting and entertaining to say the least.
DR. LONNIE HAMMAGREN
Our previous speaker was very interesting. I don’t think I have ever heard one of our speakers sing to us. Aside from that, he came across as quite a character. His presentation certainly added a different dimension to our speaker repertoire.
LIFE MEMBERSHIP
A discussion was brought up concerning increasing our annual dues and life membership dues. The consensus was that annual dues were adequate at this time. The Life Membership level was already in place at $150. I would encourage all to consider this level of membership as it further solidifies your commitment to the club.
UNLV
Unfortunately, this approved donation must be canceled. The bureaucracy at the school makes this very difficult to fund based on the minor stipulations that had been set forth. If anyone wishes to reinstate the request, they may make another motion at the meeting. You may contact me for further details.
FACEBOOK
Please post any events or comments relating to our club. Your participation is needed to help market our club and its members.
EARLY BIRD AUCTION
Last month was our first early bird auction. I believe it was a great success. Anyone wishing to sell their chips is welcome to submit them to Dale Hoyna. The club commission is a minimum of 20%.
TREASURER’S DETAILED REPORT
Jim Diezinger will be submitting his quarterly report on our financial position. A copy of that report will be in the next newsletter for your comments.
It is an honor being your President.
