I don't recall any presentation put before the membership regarding a chip show in A.C. in the past two years that was approved by the membership ... other than our regularly scheduled Sunday afternoon meetings that are held every two months. Must have missed that one. Suggestions from the membership don't have to be approved by the President. They can be brought up at any club meeting and voted upon if a formal presentation was made.

Where and when was this "chip show" going to be held? How much were table fees going to be? How many dealers expressed an interest in renting tables when they get free tables at our regular meetings? How many tables? What would admission costs going to be? Would this be a one-day or two day show? How much would a casino ballroom rental to hold the show cost? How much would hotel rooms cost for out of towners? How much would overnight security cost if two-days? How much money was budgeted for publicity? Were volunteers solicited to do the work?

Putting on a show requires a lot of thought and preparation other than saying "let's have one".
