Greetings to all of my associate casino memorabilia collectors. My name is Jim Follis and I am a casino memorabilia collector! Many of you know me personally, while many more of you are familiar with me through the several collector message boards, or through my various duties with several casino collectibles Clubs. I have decided to run for the position of Vice President of the Casino Chip and Gaming Token Collectors Club, Inc., d/b/a the Casino Collectibles Association, the Club.

I have been a continuous member of the Club since 1998 (#3872) and a Life Member (#53) since 2002. In 2000 I was appointed as the Assistant OTY Awards Chairman, assisting the Club's Founder and then President, Archie Black. Since then, I have served in 7 other appointed positions for the Club, most recently as the OTY Awards Chairman, Member of the Board of the Museum of Gaming History, Co-Club Historian and The People’s Choice Awards Chairman.

My point in referencing the preceding is to show that I am dedicated to the Club and I am committed to the longevity of the Club and our hobby. As the campaigning progresses, I will be posting about what I believe I can bring to the Club’s Board, as well as potential plans and programs that I believe can increase Club's exposure and thereby increase the Club's membership, which is critical to our continued presence, assistance and leadership to this hobby!

As members of this fine Club, I am asking for your votes in the upcoming election for Vice President.

Thank you,

Jim Follis
