In this Issue:
What is the most frequently asked question I receive from fel-
low COCA members? If you guessed "When are we going to
Jasper's?" You're right! Our next visit will be on Friday April
3, 2009 in conjunction with the Chicagoland show. We will
once again return to The Sanfilippo 'Victorian Palace', known
worldwide for its magnificent collections of arcade and gam-
bling machines, music machines, and the world's largest theatre
pipe organ. We will also tour the fabulous Eden Palais Carousel
building. Check out the insert in this magazine for full details
and sign up information or at our website ( coinopclub.org).
Our annual convention will be held in San Francisco on July
17-19. The convention is limited to the first 80 people that sign
up. The hotel cost is only $90 per room per night. Registration
fees are $140 per person. For more details call Bill Howard at
330-376-3607 (day) or 330-864-0844 (eve).
There will be local gatherings in Wisconsin, Ohio and North
Carolina during 2009. These gatherings are open to all mem-
bers and their guests. Please contact the host listed in the coin
op calendar to RSVP as space may be limited. If there is no lo-
cal gathering near you please contact me at 919-304-4455.
