NOTE: Silver Strikes qualify for calendar entries!

I am very pleased that I have been asked to take on and carry out the business side of this fine endeavor originally started by the Club's Membership Officer, Mr. Steve "The Whiner" Bedo for the 2011 and 2012 Club Calendars, along with the help of Neal Silverman and Todd Barrett.

Both of those years produced some mighty fine daily entries and remarkable calendars that resulted in adding to the Club's bottomline! We would like to Thank all of the past participants and re-invite those individuals and businesses to once again participate in the 2013 Calendar Project. Additionally, we will welcome newer participants and provide this general information at this time...

If you're interested in buying a date or a calendar, please e-mail me at OTY@CCGTCC.com . The cost is $10 for each date and $18 for the calendar (includes shipping). You can pay via PayPal to the Club's Account (Sales@CCGTCC.com) or by sending payment (payable to the ) to me.

Some have asked to purchase more than one date -- our current "policy" is one date per membership number. So if it's just you, it’s just one date right now...if it's you & your Associate Member, that's two dates. If you're interested in buying more than one date, what we will do is put you on a "Wait List". If the additional date(s) you want are not taken, we'll let you know & you can purchase those as well.

As was done for 2012, those who purchased dates for the previous year's calendar, will have first priority in reserving their date for THIS year's calendar. It's a way to say "Thank You" to everyone that supported this project last year, making it a very successful fund-raiser for the and an excellent way to colorfully share your hobby (or obsession ) with those around you. This does not prevent a Member from contacting another Member and perhaps negotiating a release of a date or swapping of dates (annually) as is already being done by two other Members that desired the same date.

Also available are banner and full-page purchases for individuals, regional Clubs or businesses/dealers. However, these placements are not intended to be full blown commercial advertisements, but instead are intended to be casino collectibles themed with a textual (or logo'd) reference to one's commercial site or place of business. (A good example is the 2012 header page for the Month of June by Club Member Butch Reynolds that was themed with California chips, yet promoted Butch's interests to "Buy-Sell-Trade" high-end California Chips.)

Pricing for a full-page purchase is $300, which includes at least one banner, and so far, we have a committment for 3 such purchases! Banners are priced at $70, one for each month, with 3 already spoken for by the full-page purchases. Additional details will be forth coming!

2012 participants should contact me as soon as possible to continue with their date(s) for 2013. For the time being, any date used last year and not confirmed by the same person for 2013, and claimed by another individual, will be held available until a final, to-be-determined end date.

Please feel free to post any questions here, or by email to me.

Lastly, in advance I'd like to thank Todd Barrett, who will shortly be bringing his create talents to the table to produce the 2013 Calendar!
