while at the convention, the officers tend to alot of Club business. I have found that if you go to greet them, they're all very pleasant and will talk for a minute or two or three...one current "retiring" officer even brought me a chip and sold it to me at a great price 'cuz he knew I really, REALLY wanted it!! Also remember that they are on vacation too, and that they may be spending time with family & friends and possibly even buying chips. Steve B (PS...warn me next time you have pocket Kings, will ya?? )
