Jim; I'm sure that with all that has been happening in the world ... including the nation's economy ... and being so close to Christmas and all... many table contracts and checks may have been pushed to the back burner and hopefully table applicants only need to be reminded to send them in.

I would also hope that my posted comments were viewed as hypothetical in nature as I have no proof one way or the other how accurate my personal observation(s) may have been.... or what effects the proliferation of chip shows around the country have on the club's International Convention.
