Michael, I couldn't agree with you more. Your points are valid ones. The club encourages membership but then becomes what I label "cliquish". Pam G. however, turned my comments into complaints about football....I don't know how that happened! Pam, if you are happy in the club, I am happy for you, all I am saying is that it is not for me. You said that I should get off the board because I said some things "turn me off" about it. Should I also stop watching television because the commercials are annoying? Should I stop shopping for groceries or gasoline because the prices are not to my liking? No, I will continue my habits regardless of the outside unpleasantries because they are necessary. Just like collecting chips, I will continue for the enjoyment no matter what the unpleasant circumstances are. Sorry if we agree to disagree. By the way, I thoroughly enjoyed your articles on the history of Las Vegas in past issues of the club magazine and posted here on the board. Happy New Year!
