While the chipboard is not a club website, it is a place a lot of newer collectors come when starting out.

Many of our members discovered the club thru the chipboard.

I completely understand that when people come here and see people spouting off negetive things about others or the club, it drives people away from the club and the hobby.

While the hobby may not need the club to survive, I 100% believe that the club and the MOGH are the driving forces in the hobby as no other organization comes close to bringing new collectors into the hobby and exposing this great thing we call chipping to the world.

For the hobby to survive, I believe we need positivity.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying I am perfect. In fact I have myself been involved with a lot of negativity in the past. But I am doing my best to change that due to some major changes in my life and the passing of some people very close to me this past year..

I have a new outlook on what is right and what is wrong.

I personally love this hobby and want to to everything I can to see it continue. As I have said before I am saddened greatly to see so much negativity by so many as this hobby as well as the club has so much to offer.

Driving people away is not the way to go.
