The reason the d/b/a was done is because CCGTCC and Casino Chips and Gaming Tokens Collectors Club are at best meaningless, and at worst confusing for people outside the club. Even for people INSIDE the club!
What started out in 1988 needs to evolve 35+ years later.
EVERY reference to the club EVERYWHERE should be CCA and Casino Collectibles Association. Clean it up on the web site, the message board, the magazine, signs at the convention, emails, advertisements, postcards., etc.
The web site domain we will have to live with for now.
We should ONLY use the legal name of the club when required by law (contracts, tax filings, etc). And even then we should have after it "d/b/a The Casino Collectibles Association" so it is clean and consistent.
Simple rules for everyone to follow. I think board needs make a declaration for everyone working on stuff for the club (website, magazine, emails, etc.): "If you see something that doesn't follow this rule, fix it now"
