Thank You Everyone for the kind words and compliments.

I am taken aback by all the comments thanking me for the years of service I have given the Club.

I ask that there be no longer be any negative comments between our members. Enough has been said and it's time to move on.

Please give me a few days to decompress and prepare all the Convention documents and reports for whoever the Bod decides to replace me with.

I will also contact everyone individually that has sent me emails and texts. I have not forgotten you. There are presently over 154. I may need a secretary !!! lol

I am still receiving Contracts from Dealers and will update my reports to reflect their inclusion in the convention.

All fees that I have received have and will be forwarded to the Club Treasurer Bud Wisinski as usual. I will also send what I have accumulated to Steve Miller as he prepares the Convention Program.

Concerning any other plans that I was working on will be suspended until which time the new Convention Chair is selected.

My Heart is still with this Club and that will never change. I have made many friends over my Presidential term and wish for the Club the very best.

I will not attend this year's Convention as I am wrestling with thoughts of guilt and do not want to cause any distraction.

My main focus now will turn to my Presidency of the Southern Nevada Casino Collectors Club. We are almost to the 200 member mark and will continue to grow.

Our new board has many ideas and we will be implementing those ideas very shortly

Best Regards to all.
