Our current name notes "casino chips & gaming tokens", but I'd bet that the majority of us collect more than just those casino items. Heck -- do we need any better example than the lovely & talented Pam G? If it has a casino name on it, she's got one!! Slot cards, playing cards, slot glass, paper goods, swizzle sticks, postcards, room keys...we (as a club) collect them ALL!! A few years ago, the club's award-winning magazine changed its name from "chips & tokens" to "gaming collectibles". Personally, I'd like to even move away from the word "club" as there are many people that don't want to join a "club"; and it would most likely be easier to seek & obtain outside funding if the word "CLUB" was left out as it (in my mind) points to a smaller, local-type organization versus something like the ANA. In my opinion, a name change to something that encompasses more with fewer words will really help on the social media side as well.
