Glendale Coin Club 1999 Holiday Party Photos
Please be patient while the pictures load...
Hey, we have a lot of fun at our coin club meetings! As documented legal evidence of this (presentable in any court in the land) we include the following photos from our December 1999 meeting. Meet our members, and see what fun we had at our Holiday Party! It was a hoot...perhaps you can join our ranks and party with us at the Year 2000 Holiday Party.
| This is Viesturs Zagars (a life member) working diligently on a candle-driven carousel that Mary Yahalom brought to the Holiday Party. Dorsille Fritcher is trying to glide by unobtrusively on the right. |  |

The enchanting results of Viesturs efforts. |
| These are the party platters we brought in from Billy's Delicatessen (located in Glendale). Lillian Kane had the idea to use them a few years back, and it was such a hit it seems to have become a Glendale Coin Club tradition. Appreciate them here in their pristine glory, because it didn't last long. |  |

The three wise men (from left to right): Bob Vick, Tom Redmond, and Viesturs Zagars. Here, they're lending their sage solemnity to some serious situation (who said alliteration is dead?). Just kidding, they're plotting to be first in line at the Holiday buffet... |
| ...And the rush is on! The poor party platters didn't stand much of a chance against the onrush of this crowd. We had meat and cheese trays, wonderful egg bread, condiments, relish trays, potato and slaw salads, sparkling cider (donated by member Harry Reder), sweet breads, candy, and so on and so on. I put on at least three pounds that night. |  |

Here, one corner of coin club members enjoys some fellowship and good eats; from left to right: Joyce Allen, Kamar Husain, Earl and Dorsille Fritcher, and Lisa Koerner. |
| Mary and Jerry Yahalom were our gamemasters for the evening. Here, Mary is working the coin club's Coin-O machine (an old bingo setup), while Jerry tracks the numbers and looks befuddled (just kidding, Jerry). |  |
 |
Coin Club beauties Kimberly Klein (daughter) and Denise Ballard (mother) seem to be enjoying themselves while playing Coin-O. These two were among the luckiest of the evening: Kimberly won the grand door prize (see below) and Denise split the grand Coin-O prize (also see below). |
| Tyler Burns with a pensive look in his eyes. He managed to win one of the Coin-O prizes, a US Silver Eagle. |  |
 |
Tom Redmond and Denise Ballard split the grand Coin-O prize (we played a total of five games, the last one was a 50/50 split with the house for the revenues the game generated). I think they each came out with about $10. Not bad for simply yelling, "Coin-O". |
| Kimberly proudly (and happily) holding up the grand door prize for the evening, a 2 1/2 Peso Mexican gold coin. What a grin (careful boys, she'll break your heart!). |  |
