Joe; I am pleased to report that I have been re-appointed by President Sarles to serve as the club's COTY/TOTY Contest Chairman once again, for all of the year 2000 issues.

Since the year is not over yet, and many attractive new issues are still forthcoming with a major holiday season just around the corner, it would be premature to submit nominations this early before all of the chips and tokens for the entire year have been issued. Additionally, there will be a couple of minor changes in this year's contest. Details will be published in the next issue of the club magazine.
