Attention All CCA Club Members.

I am happy to announce the appointment of Brenda Reimer as our new Educational Chairman. I believe she is very capable of performing the duties and will do a very fine job. Please contact her if you have any interest in conducting a seminar or if you wish to suggest a particular topic to be discussed.

Brenda has submitted a short write up which I am including in this post.

It is my pleasure to take on the role as education director for CCA. Here are a few words about what I hope to accomplish in this role.
As a college professor, I love to learn. Since I have been a member, I have learned so much about collecting and about Las Vegas history (my collecting focus). But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Through our magazine and the convention seminars, I have increased my knowledge about chips from other areas of the United States and around the World.

My goal is to schedule seminars that are of interest to the membership. Ideally, the seminars will be a mix of topics we are familiar with and want to learn more about, and topics that might be new to most of us. The most daunting task will be the banquet speaker. Our President, Jerry Vergatos, has a few names for me for our 2020 convention. I would love to begin creating a list of possible banquet speakers for future conventions. Please do not be shy about emailing me some names.

We have slots for 4 educational seminars on Thursday and Friday of the convention, but room for two additional ones on Wednesday, if we have enough interest and topics. CCA also has a great banquet speaker each year. Please contact me if you have an interest in presenting a seminar, or if you know someone who would be a speaker of interest. My email is thyminator@yahoo.com
I look forward to helping make our conventions a success. I have big shoes to fill, and will do my best to bring the membership excellent seminars.
