I do know that one or two club members I'm in contact with in the Ohio area almost always receive their copies (via 3rd-Class mailing) at exactly the same time I receive my 1st-Class mailing...and I only know this because I've asked them to inform me when they received their copies. This was at least one year ago....and never botheed to ask them to continue to inform me. The reason why I'm going on and on, here, is because I feel all copies should be mailed to membership 1st-Class...especially when I see additional mailings sent out during the year (as of current convention printed matter) that should have been included in the same mailing as the current magazine. I think there is room for impovement in this area....and I also bet Archie will jump right in, here, <g> not allowing a club official to express his own thinking....something that I feel Archie does too much...especially when he translates he no longer has any involvement in the management of the club. Ohboy, am I gonna catch #### here....luckilly Archie knows I only mean well...for everyone. Archie: This is in no way a "go and read a book" message, but sometimes some of this board's readers would like to hear from our officials in matters such as this.
