The SNCCC Board and Boyd Gaming, are observing all safety protocols concerning the safety of all of our Club members, as required by the Governor. All attendees will be required to wear a face mask and maintain 6 feet of separation.

The Club will provide hand sanitizers. If you are feeling ill, please be courteous and not attend. Note also that casino security will have entry checkpoints that require temperature checks (by IR cameras).

Attendance: RSVP Required We ask that all attendees please email Jerry Vergatos at vergatos@msn.com to reserve a space in the meeting room. Dealers should also advise Jerry of that plan as well.

We will be limited to 50 total attendees to adhere to spacing protocols mandated by the casino and the
Governor. If there is an overwhelming amount of reservations we will ask to be placed in a larger room. However, without a reservation, you may be turned away.

Deadline to RSVP is March 5th.

Our speaker for this month is Club member and SNCCC Officer At-Large, James Hogg. His topic will be about ghost towns and mining sites in Nevada. He will be showing some videos and lots of images. He has traveled extensively with his employer to many old gaming towns. He assures us this will be
a very enjoyable and entertaining presentation.

Raffle 50/50:
There will be a 50/50 Raffle for cash and/or prizes which is quite fun! We have some great prizes that have been donated by our Club members, as well as from local
vendors.

We welcome everyone as a guest to see what we’re all about and you can bring your friends as well!!!!!!!!!! (Remember the RSVP requirement.)

Our meetings are short, which gives you lots of time to socialize and gain knowledge about whatever interests you with casino memorabilia.

On behalf of the SNCCC, I sincerely hope you will join us when the time comes and hope to talk to everyone there.

Until then please stay Safe and Healthy. We will all get through this.

The following offer has been re-opened, as several requests did not qualify.

Thank you Walt Gonski!

10 Free 1 year SNCCC Memberships!!!

Longtime SNCCC Member, Walt Gonski sent the following message to Jerry Vergatos:

Jerry, You know how fond I am of our local club (SNCCC ). It also saddens me to think of all the great club members we have lost in the last year or so. Therefore in order to continue to increase our membership. I will pay the first year membership fee for 10 new members, or previous members, as long as they are not in arrears of their dues. They don't have to be Las Vegas residents.

I will leave it up to you , or Jim, or Pam , to make the appropriate announcement , on one of the boards or your newsletter, etc. And yes you can use my name.

Just tell Pam, after she receives the names of the 10 new people, just send me the bill.

We lost some very good people and I feel this is a small way of remembering them. And I hope to insure our continued future.

Be Well,
Walt

Well, we thank Walt for his generosity! Accordingly, in order to take advantage of Walt's offer, it has been decided that a request for one of the memberships, MUST be sent, via email only, to Pam Focazio, SNCCC Membership Officer at: BitesKissesAndHugs@gmail.com.

This is a first come, first served offer. Effective now, until Pam receives the first 10, qualified requests. GO!

See you there
