I appreciate the congratulations that have been posted here as well as the calls, texts, and replies to my facebook reveal as well. I hope to help accomplish some good things for the club in the coming 2 years. There's been some great momentum happening in the last year or two, so I hope to keep that going.

I'd like to thank current President David Spragg for his years of dedication to the club and I trust we've not seen the last of him. I'll be bugging him between now and June for sure, and probably during my term as well.

I will see you all at the convention in June, and if you're going to the Silver Strikers tournament this week at the 4 Queens, I'll probably see you there as well. (for a guy who "only collects Nevada fives", I sure seem to find myself getting attracted to other stuff!)

Take care and thanks again for the nominations. I look forward to working with the rest of the board over these next two years.

P.S. Now that it's over, I guess I need to talk to my tax guy about the $1B I raised to campaign with.
P.P.S. Bonus for everyone - no more "vote for me" in the signature area of my posts.
