Posting for Sheldon Smith, for the SNCCC...

"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. sad

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) vbg , 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. sad

SNCCC Secretary
