There seems to be some confusion concerning the Early Bird Banquet and Trading Session at this years convention. You have to be a member or associate member of CC>CC to attend either function. Being a member of the Strikers Chapter only won't get you in. On the Banquet, you have to purchase tickets before April 30th. You will not get in without a ticket and they will not be selling any at the door. The Trading Session starts around 8pm and again you have to be a member of CC>CC to get in. This seems unfair to me because they gave us an option but penalized us for choosing to join the Strikers Chapter only. You can find this information in the winter issue of Casino Chip and Token News but if you aren't a member, you probably don't have a copy. I tried to post this information on another strike board about 2 months ago but was denied publication. If you have any questions, you can e-mail me and I'll try to help..........Christie
