 Larry Elbert, Camden Amusements, Des Moines, IA, was the recipient of the prestigious "Operator of the Year" Award during the pre-show ceremonies for this year's ASI Show in Las Vegas.
Elbert, a former AMOA director, is a principal in the Club Lucky organization and is actively involved in many facets of the industry, from various manufacturer advisory councils to leadership in his state association and recently, as a graduate of the first Masters Program of the AMOA Management Development Program at the University of Notre Dame.
Elbert underscored his optimism about the future of the industry, acknowledged PlayMeter Magazine, sponsor of the "Operator of the Year" Award program, and offered a special thanks to his wife, Carrie, who was on hand for the ceremony, which coincided with the couple's wedding anniversary.
From all of your friends and colleagues at AMOA, congratulations Larry on this well-deserved recognition!

With so much negative news, it's challenging to find some positive stuff to crow about in coin-op these days. But we know it's out there, and AMOA is asking its members, trade press or others affiliated with our business to share some of their good news with us.
A few years ago, even when it seemed every report about video games was negative, there were a few nuggets -- studies that showed how the military, airline pilots and kids were improving their hand-eye coordination, reflexes and other skills by using video games -- that helped counter some of the negative news.
Couldn't we -- you -- use a little break from the sometimes depressing headlines? Tell us what you're doing in your community or how you've organized charity events. Submit some articles you have archived about the merits of the equipment you sell and the positive experiences your patrons have enjoyed.
While some good news isn't going to make all the problems go away, it may help us endure them just a bit better.
