The sub-board is open to all PCF readers - and registered PCF members are free to add comments if you have information you'd like to add or questions you'd like to raise. Registration on the forum is free if you haven't signed up already. And of course, if you aren't yet a member of 52+J and would like to participate in the voting, it's not too late! Head over to
the club's registration page and sign up now - dues are $25 for one year, $45 for two years and $60 for three years.

Winners will be announced at the Diamond Awards Presentation Ceremony, to be held during the Gala Dinner which concludes the 52 Plus Joker Annual Convention. The convention will take place at the Hilton University Place Hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina, from October 9th through the 12th, 2019.
Best of luck to all the nominees on the ballot!
