Hope you all had a great summer and have found some exciting coin-op machines. The clubs
direction is moving along just fine. Our membership continues to grow, unfortunately with rising
printing prices and postage rates, dues for the 2003 year will go up to $29.50. We are doing all we
can to keep costs down. At this years C.O.C.A. meeting on Friday, November 14, 2002 at 7:30 we
will have a silent auction. Donations of any coin-op machines, related items will be greatly appre-
ciated. All proceeds will benefit the club. Snacks and refreshments will be available. We will be
discussing the upcoming elections for officers in 2003. Please attend, as your
presence is very important. I personally look forward to seeing you at the
greatest coin-op show in the country.
Good Hunting!
Paul Hindin
President C.O.C.A.
