The silver strikers annual convention is just around the corner. I'm sure there will be exciting times for everyone. Besides the annual CC&GTCC convention and trade show, there will be other fun events that we will all be attending. I hope to see many of my old as well as new friends at this convention.

First of all, there will be another silver strike slot tournament which is being held by the Palms Casino on June 22nd and 23rd (Monday - Tuesday). On June 23rd in the afternoon, there will be a complimentary lunch, followed later with the award ceremony for the tournament participants. There will be cash prizes as well as a new quarter pound token that will be issued to all participants. Good luck to everyone.

On Wednesday morning, the Palms Casino will be issuing a new $200 token. This will be followed at 2pm with a trade session being held at the Four Queens casino in the Royal Pavillion room (second floor).

Thursday morning at 10am will be the opening of the 17th annual trade show being held at the South Point Casino. The club was provided a table to help advertise the Silver Strikers Club. Again we thank the CC&GTCC for their hospitality in providing the club a table.  It is greatly appreciated. Hopefully there will be a few members who will volunteer to help man the table. At 4pm the Silver Strikers club will hold it's annual Forum followed by the clubs meeting and transferring the duties to the new board.

On Friday morning, the Four Queens Casino will be issuing a new $200 token. I know everyone will be there. This will be followed by the annual Silver Strikers party that is also being held at the Four Queens Royal Pavillion room at 6pm. There will be excellent food as well as great door prizes for everyone to win. Thank you to Judy Barton who set up another great menu for the members.

On a side note, it is very unfortunate that many members do not realize that the club has a web site. Even though we have posted this information over and over. The clubs site has a menu that would address all of the concerns and issues such as applications, finances, by laws and dues as well as email addresses and numbers that board members could be reached.

Some members rather go to the strike point site, which is not a club site to voice their concerns. Don't get me wrong, it's a great site to exchange information, trade or sell things as well as have a lot of humor. However, club concerns could easily be answered on the clubs web site. Many members who do not read the clubs site do not realize that they are missing a lot of great information.

I want to take this time to thank all of the great members who continue to support this club.  I thank all of the Board member partners for their dedication and excellent work they've done to keep the club moving forward. Thanks to Pam Martin who continues to apprise the members of the current trend of the program. She also tries to get other casinos to join in on our program.

This has been a great and educational experience for me. Hopefully there will be more casinos participating in silver strike program, as there is a rumor that other casinos have shown interest. I hope to see all of you in Las Vegas in June.

Apparently members do not wish to support the Silver Strikers table at the CC & GTCC convention. Thursday is covered with some members. However Friday and Saturday is open and no member wishes to assist at this table.

Therefore no one will be at the table. Anyone interested in purchasing a club token could do it through the mail. Anyone wishing to update their membership could do it through the mail. Applications will be left there for anyone who is interested in the club. Members that need their membership card for the party should do it as soon as possible.

I would like to clarify the issue regarding Dan Hanagriffs trip to pick up a slot machine for the Silver Strikers club. This was a great deed on his part but there is a clarification that was needed.

First of all Dan was asked by myself and Secretary Jim Munding to get a hold of the donors and have them provide papers to assure that the donated slot machine was donated by them and now belongs to the Silver Strikers Club. Because the machine is being kept at the CC&GTCC warehouse, these papers would avoid any conflict later on down the years as to who the machine belongs to.

If the machine was given to him, and he is donating it to the club, papers should also be provided to the club by him. Second, Dan was asked to submit a breakdown of his expenses with receipts and the club was willing to reimburse him. I for one will not approve any open book for expenses without documentation.

However, to date Dan has not responded in any way to these requests and therefore the club did not provide financial aid to Dan.

This report is submitted to provide facts regarding this issue so members are not being misled as to why the club did not help Dan.

A continued analysis of the clubs membership reveals numerous members have failed to renew their annual membership fees. Members have been sent reminders informing them that their dues are about to expire. After a month of non payment, the member is deleted from the roster.

Several members are beginning to renew their dues after several months have passed beyond their expiration date and their names were removed from the roster. This begins to create a problem. The deleted member now must be replaced into the roster. New rosters have to be made for new members so they have accurate information. New cards, more postage and more printing expenses.

Several members are submitting their late dues by sending in $10.00 to update their membership. The fees have been $15.00 for over two years. It has been posted on the web site for two years. During the last two years, numerous reminders have been sent out However the problem continues. Currently 15 more members are late with their dues for the month of April.

Procedure:

Effective at the end of April 2009:

Members that failed to update the membership dues after a month and wish to renew their membership will be assessed an $8.00 processing fee. This will be added to their annual dues of $15.00. A new number will also be assigned to this member.

If you do not know your expiration date, or have a new address or email address, please contact Leroy Rico at ricol001@hawaii.rr.com.

If you have suggestions or ideas please contact me at ralphfajardo@hawaii.rr.com.

Finally, a reminder that club cards shall be presented to attend the clubs annual party on June 26th Friday 6pm at the Royal Pavillion room at the Four Queens Casino. A current roster will also be present to assure membership. A $15.00 fee will be assessed to non members (They will also receive a membership application).

STRIKES, STRIKES AND MORE STRIKES

The Tournament was the best ever. EVERYTHING was just perfect. The Four Queens and everyone there were wonderful, it was totally a strikers week end at the Four Queens. Special thanks to everyone at the Four Queens for all their royal treatment. Sam's Town released their first new $200, Mystic Falls Park. What a gorgeous strike it is and is it one to have in your collection especially with all the clear caps and red caps that go with it in their Mystic Falls series. They have about 40 left so if you are coming to Vegas anytime soon you still have a chance to play for your $200 to add to your collection. Tim did mention that he is working on his next series and he hope to use some of the ideas that were suggested to him at last year's convention at our Forum. I can't wait to see what will be next from Sam's Town.

The Palms released a remake of the Statue of Liberty and the Cuda. Both have a few new touches and there were plenty of us there to get one. Thanks to the Four Queens, Palms and Sam's Town for a great week end.

Ready to go again? March looks good. The Four Queens will be releasing their new $200 Queen of Clubs plus two red caps Queens of Clubs .999 silver and Queen of Spades, clad. The Queen of Spades will be clad as it was approved as a clad and the dye had been made before the change over was final. The Palms did mention that they were considering releasing their Christmas $200 and red cap. These strikes were approved right after we had all left town in January. We are hoping they will release them for this week end instead of waiting for convention, I know Craig has plenty of ideas for strikes at convention. Planet Hollywood has a new red cap that was just approved so hopefully it will be in the strike machines by March 20. Perfect timing as a few strikers will be in town to play for our own. Here's hoping he will get plenty of play and consider getting another one for convention.

Hope everyone can make it to Vegas for this March release. If not don't forget convention is just around the corner, June 24, 25, 26, and 27, 2009.

It is through the Silver strike Club that I have met many wonderful and excellent members. Because of this club, I was able to learn a lot more about silver strikes and various methods of collecting them. Because of this club, I met many new friends and was able to share life's stories with them. This is a great club and I've tried to enhance it's goals in ways other than just collecting strikes.

During my acceptance of becoming the clubs president, I asked members to submit stories that everyone could enjoy as well as outstanding accomplishments by members in their state that they live in. We could create an award annually for outstanding performances such as a life saving incident or creation of new ideas that the club could pursue. Also stories of members who are in dire straits would be informative to members.

However, after submission of events to Hanagriff and Kathy Archer, they decided that they have the authority and are at liberty to alter, delete, or change any message that I or any board member submit to be posted in the newsletter. Dan and Kathy decided that if anything is not silver strike related to them, they will delete it. However on a recent strike point message, Dan asked to have someone give him information on a donkey so he could post it in the newsletter.

Effective immediately, the presidents message will be posted on the clubs web site and not in the newsletter. This is so members will be able to read my exact message that has not been altered in any way. If Dan wishes to continue to run things in his way, he should run for president.

The January tournament was fantastic. Everyone there was in a happy, festive mood. A very special thanks to Mr. Shaun Webster and the staff of the Four Queens Casino for their outstanding efforts in making the tournament a success. From the onset (arrival at the Four Queens) everyone was made comfortable and placed in a happy mood.

The tournament began on Friday evening with an excellent dinner. Members were mingling with each other and trading silver strike war stories. You could hear members commenting on how wonderful the food was as well as how stuffed they were.  The slot tournament began on Saturday morning and you could see many exciting and happy faces. During my time slot Judy Barton excited everyone much more with her outstanding double diamonds points.

The tournament provided a $200.00 token of Cleopatra that members could try to obtain. These tokens were first given to participants of the tournament.  Three red caps complimented the $200.00 token. This exciting and happy mood continued throughout the casino as members tried to obtain the three different red caps. Many trades were also being made. I noticed on several occasions whereby members gave a red cap to another member that spent a lot of money but could not win a red cap.

This was just part of the great time everyone had in Las Vegas. The Palms Casino had two $200.00 tokens that were being issued. Members arrived early and lined up for one or both of these strikes. A $200.00 Cuda and Liberty was issued.  Thanks to special security officer Mr. Bob Chambers who assured that no one would cut in front of the line.

Much thanks to Mr. Craig Karnotowski of the Palms Casino who made this trip successful for all of the members. Craig tries very hard to make the silver strike program a success and members really appreciate his efforts. Thanks again Craig.

On Friday morning, members rushed out to Sam's Town to obtain a two hundred dollar token. This strike depicted their (Sam's Town) Mystic park theme. It portrayed several animals on the strike. This is the first $200.00 strike that was issued by Sam's Town. Thanks to Mr. Tim Rambo and his tireless efforts in supporting the silver strike program.

In all, this was a great trip for me. I was able to get a two hundred dollar strike from each of the three casinos. It was very pleasing to meet many new members as well as all of the old timers. It was also nice to be able to place some of the names with faces.

Finally, the annual convention will be held on June 24th to the 27th at the South Point Casino. There will be a trade session on June 24th in the Royal Pavilion room at the Four Queens Casino. The annual Silver Strike party will be held in the Royal Pavilion room on June 26th at 6pm. Only paid members will be allowed to attend the party. Membership cards should be presented at the door. An updated roster will be present to assure membership.

Sam's Town will be releasing their first new $200, Mystic Falls Park will be released on Friday January 23 at 10:00 a.m. They will be available at the main cage all week end and there will be plenty to go around, minted 200. They will be accepting all of Sam's Town strikes for their new $200. There is also a possibility that the last of their red caps the Bear will be released that weekend.  I am really looking forward to seeing the new $200 and adding it to our collection of the Mystic Falls Park $10 silver strikes. What a great series of strikes and I hope everyone will be able to include this one in their collection. Tim has some great ideas for the future and he is going to try to use some of the suggestions and ideas that were mentioned at last year's Forum.

Palms strikes for the week end will include a red cap .999 silver and a $200 Christmas Santa, Sleigh and reindeer. We cannot give a release time as the strikes are in final approval and will be minted sometime next week. As soon as there is any definite time it will be announced.

Binion's will not have their strike machines up and running for tournament but expect them back in the future. Yes they will be back.

I know there are many who are disappointed that Binion's will not have their strike machines in play but the good news is the Four Queens will have 5 silver strike machines in play tournament week end so once again a negative turned into a positive.

I would like to thank Tim at Sam's Town, Craig at the Palms, Shaun at the Four Queens, Jenny at Sunshine Mint and Sean at Sunshine Mint for all their hard work and wonderful support of the silver strike program. What a week end that has been made just for strikers.  Thank You, Thank You!

Membership information

Every month, Leroy Rico, who is the first Vice President of the club, updates all information pertaining to the club members. He corrects all changes in addresses as well as e-mail addresses. He also deletes unpaid members. Leroy goes as far as reminding members a month ahead of time that their membership will soon expire, and if they have any changes in their status, to let him know. All of this updated information is sent to Hanagriff a month before the newsletter is to be sent out to member.

Hanagriff is assured that the information he has is current. An update roster is also sent to Hanagriff. Regardless of the updated information, there were numerous kicbacks of newsletters due to a wrong address or a wrong e-mail. However in analyzing the kickbacks it was found that there were errors in the sender. These errors were brought to the attention of the 2nd VP Hanagriff.

He was asked to double check to see if he listed the correct address before sending the letters out. He was asked to look at the updated information that was given to him.  He was asked to see if the corrected e-mail was posted (often times, a missing comma or dot will create a rejection). These issues were again discussed with him at our annual meeting with the entire board present.

The responsibility of the newsletter is that of the 2nd Vice president. He is not asked to update or correct anything pertaining to the membership. He is only asked to assure that he sent the newsletter to the correct listed address. However, he has stated on several occasions, "I didn't think I had to work when I ran for 2nd Vice President". He also adamantly stated "I'm not going to follow up on newsletters, it's not my job".

In our annual meeting he was told that he simply had to look at the roster to see if the letter was sent out correctly. He again stated to the board. It's not my job and I'm not going to do it. Secretary Munding then told him if he can't do it he (Munding) will do it.

Therefore I believe that the responsibility of the newsletter is that of the 2nd Vice President who is currently Dan Hannagriff. Furthermore, as President of this club, my initial message that is posted regarding the newsletter will stand. All rejects will go to Hanagriff to be assured that he sent it out correctly.
