After a lot of soul searching and reflecting on how I am being treated by other club members, I have decided that being a club member has many benefits -- and the return on my investment can't be measured in dollars, but easily uttered words. Being a member has broadened my chip knowledge, introduced me to a host of very fine people, made me a better negotiator when it comes to buying and selling chips, and taught me when you interact with very knowledgeable members -- who have been at collecting for a while-- you learn and grow into a better member.
Having said that, I must admit I am not seeking any office, but putting everyone on notice that I have re-enlisted for another year, and I look forward to another fantastic year as a member.

Going to the conventions and saying yes to help the club by volunteering for various jobs, makes the experience certainly more enjoyable. I look forward to many more years, and in the spirit of Christmas, my family wishes you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ahead.
