Below is the E-Mail that Sue just sent us. She asked us to thank those here on The Chip Board. So, the best way to do that was to share what she said. Andy - Las Vegas

Dear Mike and Andy,

What can I say that I haven't already said. Of course I want to again thank you and the members of CCGTCC for the generosity, concern and support we have received. It has been a very difficult time, and we know more problems are ahead of us. It gives us a good feeling to know that people around the country have not forgotten about us.

The Coast is still a mess. Debris is still all around, but residents are starting to clean out and rebuild. It will take years to get the area back to what it use to be. I am happy to report, however, that three (3) casinos plan to reopen before the end of the year. Imperial Palace (12/20), Isle of Capri (12/26) and Palace (12/30). I was fortunate enough to get a job at the Imperial Palace. I was scheduled to open the Hard Rock Casino the night of the hurricane. Of course, that didn't happen. It will be good to get back to work. With any luck, these casinos will issue new chips to commemorate the event.

We were also fortunate enough to receive our FEMA trailer last week. It's very small but will work just fine. It allows us to be right at the house to keep working on it as much as we can. Power, phone, mail and cable service have also been restored.

Since I am a "computer dummy", I have one more favor to ask. If one of you could post a message on the BB to express my thanks to everyone in the club, I would greatly appreciate it. After I learn how to rebuild a house, I guess I should learn how to operate a computer.

We wish everyone a happy holiday season and a very happy, safe and prosperous new year.

Thank you again and happy chipping,

Sue Wells, R1679
