I want to thank everyone listed below, who has volunteered to sponsor one or more of the SSOTY nominees and donate their sponsored strike should it be declared the winner of the 2002 SSOTY contest.

The following SSOTY nominees are sponsored by the individuals listed:

Caesars Palace $40 Winged Victory - Bill Brooks
Paris $10 balloon, Eiffel Tower, hotel - Don Muchow
Treasure Island $10 pirate ship - Kevin Pyles
The Orleans $10 Liberty Al - Jim Follis
Plaza $10 Twin Towers - Don Muchow
Peppermill $10 eagle/flag - Jack Haddock
Suncoast $10 Pentagon - Don Muchow
Palms $200 eagle/flag - UNSPONSORED
Plaza $200 eagle/flag - Don Nesbitt
Slots-A-Fun $200 eagle/flag - Don Muchow

Please note that the Palms $200 remains un-sponsored. As I mentioned elsewhere, even though I know which strike is the winner, it will remain un-announced until the Convention Early-Bird Banquet. Therefore I must treat all ten equally, which means to try and get sponsorship for all ten.

Do I have a taker for the Palms strike?

Thank you,

Jim Follis
OTY Awards Chairman
