Thank you for saying what needed to be said Jim. On more than several occassions during the recently concluded CC & GTCC Convention last week ... my wife Brenda (Registration Chair); would asking registrants who were signing up for daily admissions if they were club members, and was given the following reply ... "yes; we're silver strike club members".

Hopefully, as you have outlined the benefits of belonging to CC & GTCC in your post ... more silver strikers will become CC & GTCC members and more visitors to the CC & GTCC conventions will become Silver Strike Club members as a result of their exposure to this fascinating hobby. We both need to grow our respective organizations.
