Archie, you just don't know when to quit, you have to make yourself righteous no matter what, you were the one who said, "No one can win a ....... match!" You are the one who is begging people to join the CC>CC and offer a chip for the chip collectors or a Silver Strike for the strike collectors, because your membership is down, just like ours. The only difference is people are leaving our club (SS) either for health reasons, financial reasons or because the members are just fed up with the CLAD Strikes and the Casino's getting out of the Silver Strike Program. Archie could the financial problem in your club the CC>CC be caused, because you have too many lifetime members vs. new members who pay dues? Also, just because Jim Stefner said that he has one corner table and one side table, does that nix out what Silver Strike Dealers have said to me. Just look at the past records and compare how many Silver Strike dealers have left setting up and paying for the tables at the convention, just remember, I have the program books from years past as to who and how many dealers there were! You can't tell me that the amount of Silver Strike dealers has gone up in the last 3-4 years, because I can name the dealers that sold Silver Strikes who stopped selling at the Convention because of the cost they had to incur. There may be chip dealers and memorabilia dealers at the convention, but there aren't very many Silver Strike dealers on the floor. As I stated, $15.00 per day at the door this year, $10.00 per day last year and $5.00 per day the year before, YOU DO THE MATH!
