"Team Smith" (Sheldon and Christine) reret having missed the November meeting of the SNCCC, and Sheldon has asked me to provide a Meeting Report. So.... here goes.
Using the Club's Membership roster, we conducted a winner-must-be-present drawing for a prize fund of $2,465.00. The lucky name drawn was Sheldon Smith! Unfortunately, Sheldon was not present and the prize fund was restored to the Club's bank account.
Moving right on, we conducted our Early-Bird Auction, consisting of 23 Lots and 1 add-on Lot. We thank all of the participants is helping the Club's monthly fundraiser.
Next up was our Guest Speaker, Ms Wendy Rock, Gamblers General Store, Retail Store Manager. Wendy has a long history with GGS and hand many stories to tell, with the subtle prompting of Rich Burgel.

Following Wendy's compelling talk, President Vergatos conducted a no-cost Raffle for a bottle of tequila (with scorpion), an engraved bottle of bourbon whiskey, and a ziplock baggie with 7 fantasy chips (SNCCC related). I am pleased to report that I won the chip set, but only because my name was drawn last of the 3 chances. The meeting was then opened. The Secretary read the October Minutes, the Treasurer reported our financial status (with the restored amount that Sheldon could not claim) , and Membership advised that the Club had 241 members. We then discussed some New Business, which included some pre-planning information about the SNCCC's 3rd Road Trip in March of 2020 under the leadership of Rich Burgel.
Following adjournment, we conducted our Raffle that included a 50/50 drawing and the opportunity to win slot glass and other casino related items, as donated by memers.
All-in-all, it was great meeting. Sorry you missed it Sheldon.
Jim Follis
SNCCC Secretary
