2003 C.O.C.A. Calendar
There will not be a calendar this year due to
the poor response of the members. We
received pictures from only five members.
Members want everything but contribute lit-
tle. The members who contribute the least,
complain the most. It's the same in most
clubs and organizations. I'm keeping the
photos that were submitted and we will ask
again for photos for the 2004 calendar. If we
don't get a sufficient response this year we
will assume the members have no interest
and we will cancel any further plans for a
calendar.
The meeting in November was a great success.
Many thanks to John Papa and Steve Moore for
their great presentation. They both came well pre-
pared. John is a skilled speaker who kept the
group's attention for the entire meeting. For more
information, or if you would like to contact John,
his website address is: http://www.nationaljuke-
box.com I know he has many more such tips for us
collectors and I look forward to possibly a repeat
performance sometime in the future.
