We did not get new parking passes. I have not been up to the casino, since I recieved the new card. Will see if old card works, or if new Sagamore card works. Have a great day, and royals to all. Ciao Don

Subject: [vpFREE_NewEngland] Re: Daily Play vs. 6-month Play
---Hitting the royal has no effect on your theo. I hit three royals
in a 3 month period last year and my card was upgraded from Sachem to
Sachem wolf (now known as Club Sachem) shortly after.
I received a new parking pass with Sachem card. Did any Sag get a new
card as Dori didn't get a parking pass with hers. She has an old one
and I was wondering if any of you prior sag members got a new one
Thanks
