Just had some feedback from a couple of people that the despite all Bobby Ward's efforts (and mine) with the printer the labels may have your membership number printed on the label to the left (rather than to the right) of your membership expiration date. Not had mine (nor has Bobby had his) so can't confirm - anyway, one of the numbers above your name and address is a date - the OTHER ONE is your MEMBERSHIP NUMBER

Sorry about that!

Received mine in the mail Friday, Sept 28. Yet another really great issue!  Something for everyone from the beginner to the expert.  And congratulations John W. for both the front and back cover photos!  Now I must get to reading...

And thanks, too, Malcom, for keeping the pdf format available.  This computer still runs on Windows 2000, and it doesn't support adobe air. Smiley

Just received the "hard Copy" this week - haven't had a chance to check out the on-line version, but I have kept the wrapper! Grin

Looks like everyone is pretty happy with the way the digital edition is operating given how few people have raised any problems.

Deadline for submissions for the next issue is November 1. This next issue will contain full profiles of all election candidates - the slate which you can view elsewhere on the website http://nargs.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=284&Itemid=162 and any other candidates who are nominated prior to November 1 to Lola Horwitz  <llhorwitz@gmail.com>, Chairperson of the Nominating Committee.

The initial color proofs have arrived from Kansas and tomorrow I'll look at them in natural light as well as artificial light trying to get the best balance, then work through adjusting any pictures which seem like they might need it.

In the meantime corrections from proofreaders are now back with me and are being worked through.

There are periods of desperation mixed with frustration in assembling and negotiating things with contributors at times, but it's immensely satisfying when an issue starts to appear out of the cyber mists, crystallizing out into a complete edition. Things are complicated now by the parallel life of the digital edition which will be a much more significant beast with extra pages.

So much of this (and other NARGS projects) goes on without the rest of us even realizing all the effort that is required. 

We do appreciate EVERY bit!

The winter issue is now signed off with Allen Press so next up for them is printing and distribution which should be accomplished before Christmas (with receipt starting between Christmas and New Year and probably not until second or third week in January some places) and the production and uploading of the Digital Quarterly which should be accessible by January 1st.

I'll keep you posted.

Everything is on track for the paper Quarterly to be in the post in the next few days.

The digital Quarterly is also on track - just had to sort out a couple of issues with some of the extra pages that I'd managed to mis-number.
