Our newest club newsletter issue (the infamous missing issue #13) was mailed via first class mail Monday, May 19, [2003]. You should start receiving it within a few days depending how far you live (or how slow your mail service is) from Dallas, Texas. One very important note is that this is the "makeup" issue that is being sent to all individual members whose dues are current. This is the first time we've restricted newsletter mailing to only current, or nearly current, "paid up" members but this is the policy we will follow from this point forward. Any member who received a dues notice that indicated membership dues were not current and who has elected not to or failed to renew will not be receiving this newsletter. If your membership dues are current and you don't receive your newsletter within a reasonable amount of time (probably two weeks within the U.S.) please send an inquiry to [email protected] to make sure we show your dues current and that we included your name when we generated the mailing labels. While we're still transitioning these duties to Keith Raikes, we ask you folks for a little extra patience. We will definitely send issue #13 to anyone we missed and want to make sure we've got it all correct for issue #16; you definitely don't want to miss it or even have your copy delayed!

The very good news is that Keith's very dedicated effort to update everyone's dues status has now allowed us to schedule publication of this year's newsletters in June (issue #16), August (issue #17), and November (issue #18). Our publishing schedule for 2004 will be April, August, and November and you can count it being published in those months!!

The current newsletter, issue #13, is the last issue before we go to a new editorial format and greatly expanded editorial staff. Your pending newsletter will contain a cover letter that explains some of the changes and the improvements you may expect beginning with issue #16 in June! [posted 05/19/2003]
