I want to just clear a few things up. I appreciate all the nice e-mails and kind words. This is a great club with great people and it has been every hard for me to make this decision.

I will still remain a member and still collect, but not as much. I will be still collecting any current $1 chips for my Nevada and Riverboat collections. Those are the ones I'm going to keep as they mean so much to me. The rest I will eventually sell off a little at a time. When I need money each month I will sell some chips and so on so forth.

I also want to say I made this post while most of the members were at the convention so I would not get so many e-mails. Not that I don't appreciate all the kind word and thoughts, but it is also very emotional as well for me.

I must say once I made this post I have felt a lot better that i final made my decision.

I hope everyone has a great week and my heart goes out to all the people in the Midwest that have lost their homes and personal belongings in these horrible floods that have occurred. Thanks God the weather has lifted for a very nice sunny week, so maybe the floods will start to recede.

Take care fellow chippers....Pam
