Message:: [QUOTE="bigjpst, post: 2485673, member: 21015"]Hat's off to you for choosing to help the club instead of just turning away. When I first joined the Glendale Coin Club in CA. it was really struggling as well. One of the forum members here (illini420) took on first the role of Vice President and then a year later President and really put in the effort to turn it around. It took him spending a lot of time and a couple of us members stepping up to join the board and become officers that cared about having a good meeting to do it. Now the club is doing well with great prizes and a huge bump in membership.    I am a member of several clubs both local and national and they all seem to have the same problem with a lack of active members who are willing to make the meetings work. There are some people who just want to show up, shoot the breeze and eat cake and that's fine as long as there are a small handful of dedicated members to make sure it happens.   The club that I am now a member of in NV. doesn't really have a whole lot of numismatic discussion either and it is frustrating, but right now I don't have the time to be more than a cake eater there.  I wish you luck.[/QUOTE]
