Hello everybody,

We have nailed down our new deadline schedule for 2005. We have made some changes in response to what we have heard from members.

Starting in 2005, the magazine will be mailed on the first of the month (unless it falls on a weekend. The Jan/Feb issue won't go in the mail until the 5th, due to the holidays.)

Another change will be we will now be having is just one deadline date for all material, ads, and letters. Most members felt that two separate dates made for more confusion. From now on the due date will be the 10th, or the next regular business day. This puts the deadline for the Jan/Feb issue only a couple of days after its mailing date (Nov 8th). Because of this, we will try to accommodate everybody the best we can, but please, send in anything you want in the Jan/Feb issue ASAP. 

The official schedule is as follows:
