I spoke with John Yee today and he tells me that the Magazine will be out around the end of the month. Our Chapter will have the full page application in it. There are many collectors that are not using a computer and probably have no idea about the chapter. So to be fair to them, the date for Charter membership will be extended to September 1, 2002.

I have the Chapter By-laws and Constitution ready to submit to National. Anyone that wants to look at them, let me know and I will Email them to you.

Also, we have over 50 Chapter members to date...actual membership will not start until later. Those of you that have already joined will be for the 2003 year...some of you have credit for 2 years, so yours will be through 2004.

Those of you that have joined, please give me your thoughts on how to elect officers. We can wait until the Convention in 2003 or do it online and snail mail before then...We will need a President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. I have deposited all dues in a checking account here near my home.

Let me know if you have any questions and comments....our hobby is growing. I see more and more chippers getting interested in slot cards and room keys....Thanks for your support....Jim Munding
