Thank you to the many of you who have ordered the Chicagoland Chippers Charity Chip. They are here and we will be shipping those that have been ordered and payment received before July 15th. That is the date of the gathering, we will be packing them up and sending them out on that date. If I have made alternative arrangements with any of you, I have that noted. If you are unsure whether I have received your payment, feel free to email me. I did try to notify each of you as the payments arrived. I am very happy to announce that we have already sold 101 of the 150 chips.

I am still accepting orders at the pre order rate of $10 (and as shoop said, you'll want two to display both sides). The net proceeds will be going to the V foundation. We will be deciding at the Gathering what to sell the balance of chips for (primarily at the convention).

I would also like to thank my fellow Chicagoland Chippers, Debby Meister, David Spragg, and Mike Pasternack for their assistance Don't forget there are special prizes for the person who orders the 114 chip, and for the first person who orders or has ordered a chip to tell me the significace of 101 and 114 (anniversaries) to Chicago.
