I don't think Dan's reply was to push for anyone to belong to the Club. But for $15 a year,it includes the news Letters. You are kept abreast of all the latest Strike issues,Pictures,& information. The Dinner at the Convention this Year, Prizes,trading,& Friendships,were well worth the 15 Bucks alone. Course,I guess for those who do not wish to belong,or cannot afford the Strikers,eventually the Pictures will Pop up on Ebay,or Jackpot auctions.
