Since you are now hanging up your chairmanship, we can start planning our function for the 2002 Convention. "The First Annual Old, Broken Down, Retired, Former, I've Had Enough Fun, Ex CC & GTCC Convention Chairman's Black Tie Gala"
should be the highlight of the Chip Social season!

I am sure I can get the Venetian to give us the ballroom space for free, with a room rate of $39 per weekend night! The Catering Department doesn't care about making money, they would just give us the F & B for free. Since the food is free, we would never run out of it. You, Archie and I could have as many tables as we wanted, for free, and we can locate them anywhere on the ballroom floor that we desired! You are entitled to an unlimited number of credentials for all of your family and friends so they can get in for free. The Review Journal will give us a full page ad to advertise our shindig and of course there would be no charge. And we can schedule this gala to begin when ever WE want it to begin, because that's they way you schedule these things!!<VBG>

On a serious note, as someone who understands what it takes to chair this thing, Ann and I would just like to say THANK YOU more than you know!<g> And to old what's her name that helped a little. Belinda is it?<VBG>

A JOB WELL DONE TO BOTH WAYNE THOMPSON AND BELINDA HIXON!!!
