I just noticed this thread, very cool! I'm glad to have been part of the CC>CC as well as of the chip collecting industry as a whole! I'm very proud of your mention here, and I hope we can help the hobby and club continue to grow.

I was extremely flattered, surprised, and honored in receiving the Recruiter of the Year award! Oddly enough, ChipTalk had a large meetup in Vegas TWO DAYS after the convention! I missed you guys by one day! If I had known I was to receive an award I would have been there, I had no idea we had been referring that many new Club members.

Thanks again, and I hope to see more of your great tips both here and at ChipTalk!
