Please do not respond with donation pledges yet.
I do not have total cost yet.
I am looking for answers and ideas at this time.

Club Magazine ad to publish list = $120.

Steve Soden has offered to use his convention table for Anti-Slabbers.
Thank you Steve.
Wayne is seeing if we can have our own.
Either way cost is the same as I will not let Steve donate the cost of his table.
I am not even sure of table cost but I think it is $295.

Amy, how much for buttons?
Can you use Dick's design? I like it best.
Need suggestions on how many we need. 500-1,000?
Marv, are you making some?

Dick Covington has a good idea on the chip.
I can get it for 65¢ plus art of $275 plus tax.
Total for 500 chips about $650. Do we need 1,000 at about $1025?
I would get the chip pictured below. It is the best job on artwork I have ever seen. Made by B&G in France. Very similar to a Chipco and cheaper.
Does everyone that donates get a set amount of chips? Do we sell the rest at $1 or give them away.

Do I ask for donations as a total package?
There is a lot going on here. I need directions.

If some want to donate for advertising and others for chips it could be a night mare for one person to keep straight.

I have $15 left over from donations to the PS campaign to start the pool with.
We are talking about a lot of money here. Could be as much as $1,700 or more and I might have forgotten some expences.

$1,700 divided by say 50 = about $35 each.
We won't know how many are interested until I put out the call. Could be more or less per person. Please do not email until I get some answers and ideas to this post. Please post ideas and answers for all to see.

I would like someone else to volunteer to collect the money and write one check for each expence. I am preparing for a Mexican Poker Cruise that is taking up a lot of my time. I am also designing chips for 2 different properties, more time.
GEEZ, not sure what happened to my poker playing time. <G>
How about it MR Covington?

I am writing an anti-slabbing article for the next issue of the club magazine.
I have reserved space for it and intend to pay the $60 charge for a page. I am not asking for donations to cover this.
I have reason to believe the article would not be published unless someone writes an opposing view for the same issue. Hence it will be a paid ad.
