I am not a member of the CCGTCC, I have given it a lot of thought. I collect only Roulette Chips and Crest & Shield chips. I am very happy and content with my collecting habit. Sure there are a lot of chips I can not have because I do not belong to the club.

I was a member of another club and had to drop out because of one of the founding members was caught in an ethics violation ,which I had reported, and I was the one who suffered. Other members would not deal with me any more. I can not go through something like that again.

Than it is the fee for joining the club. I am a home bound person and can not go to the shows and other to do's. Why does the fee have to be so high. To some people it is nothing but a person like me on a fixed income it means a lot.

Those are my reasons for not joining and I will be happy and content to keep collecting the way I do.
Wish you all happy chipping.
