UNFORTUNATELY, I’M UNABLE TO ATTEND THIS YEARS CCA CONVENTION. MY MOM MOVED IN WITH US A MONTH AGO AND IS NOW ON HOSPICE. SHE HAS BAD DAYS AND A FEW GOOD DAYS. I KNOW MANY OF YOU ALL HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS EXACT SAME THING SO YOU KNOW HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS WATCHING LOVED ONES NEARING THE END. LUCKY FOR US, OUR SON IS HOME FROM COLLEGE THIS SUMMER AND HAS ALSO BEEN A HUGE HELP TO MY MOM

I REALLY DO WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU HARD WORKING 2024 CONVENTION VOLUNTEERS FOR HELPING THE CLUB AND EVERYONE ATTENDING THIS CONVENTION BY VOLUNTEERING SOME OF YOUR TIME AT A TABLE. THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN WITHOUT YOU.

SINCE I’M NOT ATTENDING, DAVID SOWELL AND HIS WIFE, LESLIE WILL HAVE ALL OF THE 100 GOODY BAGS DONATED TO THE VOLUNTEERS FROM STEVE CUTLER, A LOCAL DEALER AND FRIEND. ALL GOODY BAGS WILL BE HELD AT THE CLUB RAFFLE TABLE. THEY WILL CHECK YOU OFF THE LIST AND YOU WILL BE ALL SET. THE RAFFLE TABLE IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE CLUB PROMOTIONS/MERCHANDISE TABLE NEAR THE REAR OF THE CONVENTION HALL CLOSE TO THE BATHROOMS.

FOR ALL OF THE VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE LEAVING EARLY AND ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND THE VOLUNTEER RECEPTION ON SATURDAY NIGHT, YOU CAN GET YOUR 2024 VOLUNTEER THANK YOU CHIP FROM THE CLUB VICE PRESIDENT, JIM FOLIS. JIM WILL BE ALL OVER THE CONVENTION HALL EACH DAY AND SHOULD BE EASY TO FIND. THIS WILL SAVE THE CLUB FROM MAILING OUT THESE CHIPS TO APPROXIMATELY 15-18 OF YOU THAT TOLD ME YOU WERE LEAVING THE CONVENTION EARLY AND WILL MISS THE PARTY.

I’M SAD TO MISS THIS AMAZING CASINO COLLECTABLES ASSOCIATION 2024 CONVENTION WHILE SEEING MY MANY GREAT FRIENDS BUT I WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR AND WILL MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME. JUST NOT TOO MUCH VODKA THIS TIME. 🥃🥃🥃

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE HKP4@icloud.com IS STILL DOWN FOR NOW. I HOPE TO HAVE IT BACK SOON. IF YOU NEED TO REACH ME CALL (858)205-2119 OR USE MY OTHER EMAIL. Hiccup@netscape.com.

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL.
ENJOY LIFE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS, HAVE A BLAST AND HAPPY CHIPPING.
