All the WONDERFUL people who put their time and energy in the Scrapbook. That was such a surprise and I can't tell you how much it means to us! The NFFC for recognizing LaughingPlace.com (which really means recognizing all of you) for the help we give them. Karlos, Scott and Mary Niven for making this whole thing possible on our limited budget, then making it even better with all their surprises. Cynthia Harriss for the buttons and Ambassador Daina, Patti Cake and Mickey for stopping buy. And anyone else I'm forgetting Thank you all. Rebekah and I had a great time. We hope you did, too! You all are the best community I've ever seen on the net! Doobie.

This is the place to express our gratitude to the wonderful people who gave us this Laughing Place because Doobie has thanked us all for making this a wonderful community. So, appreciation can be expressed in both places.

I have an idea what goes into putting that together, and Rebekah really did a ton of work without being able to rely on me much. Thanks Rebekah, and Doobie for making this wonderful place for us on the 'net!

Thanks Dave!!! Doobie.

Originally Posted By Doobie I honestly don't know the exact number that were there.

There were a few that I know didn't show and perhaps more I don't know about. There were also a few tickets sold at the event (because of the no-shows). So it was certainly in the neighborhood of 190. Doobie.

For many of us it feels like home each and every day. Dave, STOP FREAKING ME OUT!!!!! Thanks for making the pins, they looked really good. Also, glad you were able to help out Rebekah with making the buttons, I know that is very tedious.... Anyone else I forgot, I know there are so many othe people that made this get together possible. The help that everyone provided unselfishly really kept everything moving smoothly. THANK YOU AGAIN, EEANUUT
