There are still plenty of Chicago Personals left if anybody here wants one. They are currently $10 per chip with all net proceeds going to the V Foundation for Cancer Research. This is an excellent organization, and I am very pleased by the generosity of so many of our fellow chippers. Tomorrow is the Chicagoland Chippers Gathering, and a decision will be made tomorrow as to how to proceed with the sales of the chips now that we actually have them in our possession (Riverboat Rick's to be specific, we really can't call them pre orders anymore).

The current price will still be in place till I return home from the gathering late tomorrow night, so this is the last weekend to be sure to get the chips at the current cost of $10. The discussion at the gathering will not be whether to reduce the cost of the chip . One important point to consider-when we sell out, I will stop hyping them .

For those who have already pre ordered and paid for your chips, we will be packing them up and mailing them out this weekend. I would like to express my appreciation to all of you for your generosity. I also appreciate all the personal stories that have been shared with me by so many of you. It helps remind me that every little bit helps, and that this disease touches everybody in some way at some time.

For those of you who are fighting this disease, I offer the immortal words of that small town football coach, Knute Rockne, "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT..."
