I've heard so much about cliques in this club for so long, it's amusing . I'll tell you how I have found this club's "cliques" to work: if you want to be a part of a "clique", make friends with the people that you assume are in that clique (kinda like the same thing in life). If you sit back waiting for an invitation, you may not get anything. I have been EXTREMELY fortunate to have made so many great friends through this club, so much so that chip collecting is really secondary now. Some of these friends I see once a year...some I have never met face-to-face. There are only a couple of people in this club that I would have no desire to spend time with, but that's just a personal choice. From the beginning, I found almost every member of this club to be very welcoming, nice & helpful so I'm not a real believer in the clique conspiracy .

Happy collecting !!
