<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dimedude2, post: 2486378, member: 17539&quot;]I was in a club with similar characteristics as mentioned in the beginning of the post and it was frustrating. To get things going, I wrote a PowerPoint presentation and was ready to go. Unfortunately, the President and the Board forgot that I was scheduled to present and I was not allowed. Then they got back to their gala discussion of state quarters. Fortunately, I am now in a club with diverse interests and I love to participate.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was sharing a story at a club meeting and I got a bizarre response. My wife and I were at the Southwest Show in Houston at the convention center, which was fantastic - great dealers, great location, excellent places to eat all about. At 4 PM, we saw a friend working the show at the entrance, and some pissed off dude enters in a tirade. He complained about the traffic (4PM in downtown Houston, what do you expect?), $5 parking (we are in a big city, what do you expect? You pay for parking in a parking garage!) and the $3 entry fee (it is a nice convention center with 200+ tables, not at the Super 8). He crumbles the coin show flyer in a ball and throws it on the floor. Then our friend very calmly asks what he collects and he responded &quot;Double Gold Eagles.&quot; OK, now let understand this - you collect double gold eagles which cost thousands of dollars each, and then you go nuts spending $8 for parking and an entry fee?</p><p><br /></p><p>To my surprise, the response from the club members was how bad the show was for charging parking and a fee, and the double gold eagle collector should have been upset. Perhaps they should have had the show at a Buc-ees off I-45.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
