[Chicago] Reminder and Thank you

[Brian Ray]

ChiPy Members and Friends,

Our Chicago Python community has seen great growth the last several years.
One of the key benefits is our ability to help both Python developers and
those hiring find each other.  There currently is a shortage of qualified
Python developers in the Chicagoland area†.  In order to continue our
growth, ChiPy has made both formal and informal agreements with those
hiring to provide us a referral bonus** whenever they find and hire someone
from our network.

Despite our best efforts, we have been delinquent in collecting those
referrals in the past. We encourage those who have found talent and have
not yet made a donation to arrange a donation to the club today. Contact
any organizer, including myself, and we will give you more instructions. If
you have been hired by someone who found you from our network, please
forward this email to them so they can make their good faith donation.

Thank you for your time in tracking this down. We would like to personally
thank every member who has contributed to ChiPy in the past. We all would
like ChiPy to be as self-sufficient as possible. In the past, we've had the
funds to do amazing things like send students to PyCon. We now set out a
new goal of our fundraising:


*  "Chicago Python User Group sets goal to send 3 students to PyCon in
Montreal for 2015" --Brian Ray, ChiPy Organizer (ref http://bit.ly/1s87j5G

Achieving a goal like this is a great measure of our success.   It us up to
every one of you to make this possible. Thank you for supporting the Python
Programming language in Chicago.

Warmest Regards,

Brian Ray and the ChiPy Organizers

† You may forward your resume to any board member to have it distributed to
our trusted network

** We recommend a referral be paid in an amount ranging between $500-$1000
per successful hire.
