| Many of you will remember the "Steve Passalacqua Slot Card Project" from last year. After speaking with Steve recently, I learned that he did not plan to sponsor a 2nd Annual Slot Card Project. With his blessing, I am, as he suggested, picking up the ball and running with it. The rules are simple. Send me a slot card (or cards) issued in your name along with your number. I will compile a list of donors and their cards. The cards will be auctioned as one lot during the Building Fund Auction at the convention. Jim Kruse has suggested that I also ask for donations of blank/unissued card(s). I think that this is a great twist and fully encourage anyone who is able to send blank(s), along with their issued cards, to do so. Steve's efforts last year resulted in a $1200 bid. What a win-win-win situation. You win by actively participating in the building fund effort, the building fund wins, and the winner of the auction has either an instant collection or a massive addition to their already established collection. Please participate. Additionally, please help get the word out to all of our members who do not frequent the Chip Board. Steve Passalacqua, THANK YOU for your efforts last year and for the inspiration to tackle this project this year. |
