The Eleven Eleven Club was encouraged by the turnout of 16 participants in 2006, about half of whom were first-timers in the experience.  There has been some talk of organizing more officially as a 501(c)(7) recreational club.  Furthermore, given the success of the Wonder Bar sponsorship along with complementary discounted lodging provided by Showboat, the club intends to more aggressively pursue corporate co-sponsors for various aspects of future engagements.
