A special thank you to Debby Meister for the wonderful work she did, the assistance and patience she gave me, and the really enjoyable conversation where we discussed all this out. I really like the idea of doing a Halloween Chip next. (It would be really cool if there was some sinister mad scientist laugh that I could use right here) Thak you to David Spragg and Mike Pasternack for their assistance in this matter as well.
The Chicagoland Chippers themselves of course have my thanks. I would especially like to thank Riverboat Rick who was my henchman from early on; Pam Holmgren who was there from the planning to the shipping, I am really gonna miss not seeing you at the convention; Fred DeKeyser for being my devil's advocate, He would ask me the questions that I would have asked someone else doing the project-it is essential to keeping the groups goals and intentions in focus-Fred also generously doated a few chips that will be sold for the cause at the convention; Bill Lange who sold a bunch of the chips at work, and was there throughout; David Kolenda for all the help he gave me in planning, designing and inspiration. Thank you also to Joe Pavlik, Bob McLear, and Ken Nestle who were there when we decided to do this and helped with the initial funding. I also want to thank Todd Barrett, David Brown and the other Chicagoland Chippers who make it so much fun to get together, and have at one time or another been ivolved in the discussion which led to this, and I will call upon all of you in the future as we do this again.
Thanks go out to Mike Heron and Ellen Springer for their assists. Thaks to the folks who donated more than what the chips were for. Thank you to Chuck Tomarchio who donated one of the two chips we sent to Doug for the club collection, the Chicagoland Chippers covered the other.
I would like to thank our esteemed (?) leader ol whathisname and the wonderful Christine Smith. They bring us together, they keep us wanting to come back, and they make everyone feel special. If your packing sucked blamed Sheldon 
-I am nobody's minion fella.
I would like to thank the folks who bought the chips.
