Thank-You's
Many thanks to OHB, who despite his protestations to the contrary, was a great help; he got the ball rolling, and was ALWAYS ready to discuss and decide as new ideas came along. The room would never have happened without his help.
Thanks to semperfi (and spouse) and Randi Mathews who both put in more hours than anyone to make sure we could have a room. Without their willingness to commit ahead of time, there would have been NO AZB ROOM.
Thanks to Timberly for pitching in so quickly. When help was needed, it was needed RIGHT THEN; and T-girl was on the spot. She really took some of the load off some very busy shoulders.
Thanks to sizl for the fabulous banners.
Thanks to Samiel, Ratchet, goingproin07, mthornto for hanging out in the room, supervising things, and helping out when things got hectic.
Thanks to stevelomako, JoeT, & Jack Justis for their very generous donations.
Thanks to all those AZB'ers who contributed with NO INTENTION of attending (I'm sorry I don't have the list with me right now) - you guys/gals are examples of the type of community-builders that could be very good for the game.
Thanks to Sarah R. and Allie who pitched in for some challenge hours (though they successfully ducked me - oh well, maybe next year); Jerry Briesath for his tremendous hours of free lessons; Grady Mathews for his one-pocket seminar; Tom Simpson for the jump lessons; Efren Reyes for his extremely gracious gesture in helping our raffle; Jeanette Lee for her tremendously professional commitment to make our room a success despite a bad back, a long week, and a very busy schedule. We are all richer for the contributions of these people.
Thanks to my wife for not divorcing me after a month of total, pool-induced neglect on my part (she even let me order that custom case from Jack Justis; I knew I married her for a reason).

) And then show up to the room on Sat night to hand out envelopes. 
Thank you just the same for your kind words. I believe most of the kudo's go to you & OHB for getting the ball rolling & keeping it going. Sizl, while being modest actually had to work and a special thanks from me to Randi, Ratchet, and all the others that donated so much of their time in the room.
