...and when is all this going to begin?

I have been hearing this for years and we are not even recovering to a fraction of what we once were..

I was told the same thing about our club website message board... that once we update it we will once again be noticed and new blood will join with us..it ain't happening

The hobby is growing and we are not growing with it.. In fact,, we are going backwards since we are standing still.

Our only salvation as a club is to be more involved with the ANA and FUN.

We need to get out of those musty hotel meeting rooms and be part of the biggest arenas in the world where thousands of collectors attend every day during those convention weeks.

We have what it takes to fit in with numismatic groups with our very own "casino money" and reintroduce ourselves, agai and again and get out of those primitive hotel meeting rooms and hold our meetings in huge convention centers as we did when I joined this club. We were dead center in front of the biggest collecting groups and swimming in money and new chips like there was no tomorrow.

In our present state of being dormant, I do not know for how much longer we will be with the ANA.... WHY WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS AND NOT BEGIN TO BUID THIS AUGUST.....WE CAN KONLY GAIN BY DOING SO AND, IN OIR SPAREMTIME wE CAN BE PART OF HUHE COLLECTIBLES SHOWS AND THE BOTTLE SHOW AND MORE.

SITTING IN A PRIMATIVE LAS VEGAS BALLEOOM IS NOT CUTTING IT.

IT IS NOT NEW TERRITORY TO US AS WE HAVE HEEN THERE BEFORE AND KNOWMTHE LAY OFMTHE LAND.

I know there are a lot of spelling errors here but I can't do anything about it. Sorry.
