I just finished uploading our Directory to the printer's ftp.

Dave, Craig, and I have updated everything from last year's Directory. I feel this is our best product yet, and I do hope you use it often as a reference document (or as a doorstop or anchor - it's Huge!).

Enjoy the improvement of the completer tables.

Now we focus on the summer newsletter which should be easy to create because we have SO MUCH STUFF that's been submitted from everyone.

The 50-50-1 organization found a high-profile local to lead a team up Borah Peak, thus there is a team for all 50 states to stand on top on June 24, 2006. The Denali team has departed.

To fill the gap, I volunteered to lead a team up SD and ND. If anyone would like to participate in this unusual event and lead a team on either of these states, please contact me! If anyone wants to join my team, please be at Sylvan Lake TH for an 8am start.

oops.

You will like this issue. Lots of variety. Lots of color. Lots of Completers!

The huge directory and photo-jammed summer issue is off to the Post Office today.

Find a shade tree and settle in for some pleasant summertime reading....

Sjaak reports he has his copy. How can this be you may wonder? It's because we must mail the foreign members separate from the bulk domestic mailing. The day I send the bulk magazines to the mailing house I also stuff the envelopes for our non-USA members and take them to the Post Office.

This issue should be delivered starting in the next day or so. As usual, Roger in NYC may get his last....

Has anyone in the U.S. received their copy yet?

Yesterday, July 10 in Wisconsin. Looks good!

I checked the label database and you are in it. Assuming the mailing house did its job - we can move on to raising an eyebrow at the USPS.

The worth will be the wait.

Thanks for another great issue!

I hate the post office.

Well, it will be tomorrow. Still waiting. Was it something I said? I generally try to avoid getting myself black-listed.

It's here, it's here! Never for one second did I doubt the good folks of the USPS.

Our newsletter and membership book arrived yesterday, 7/27/06.

Must be a lot of USPS workers taking vacation this time of year! (That, and maybe it was held up somewhere around St. Louis because of the extended power outages after last week's storms.)

Thank you again for another outstanding issue.

Made it today - 19 July

Got it yesterday. Looks great.

See y'all in NC!!!

Now every member (except Roger) has to have received his...

Even Board members get them late! Case in point: I still haven't seen mine. Maybe it got cooked in the 110 degree heat we had here in Sacramento today! NC should be cool in comparison. See ya soon! JES

It arrived today, Monday, Julyt 24th, so I'll have it for my trip to WI and NC. Great job as usual, guys. Thanks. See ya soon! JES

...received my copy either. I live about 30 miles from Suffern, NY where it arrived July 15th, hmmm... Hate the post office, maybe not. But if all copies were mailed to Club members the same day, this doesn't 'speak well' of the US Postal Service.

Maybe I'll get it tomorrow and have some new reading material for a plane flight to Vegas in the evening. Oh yeah, yep, I checked an old mailing label; good until "last issue paid: 06-4Q." So I guess I'm still an HP Club member, but dues need to be sent.

I checked the mailing label database, and you are included.

This feedback from everyone is very good information to supply (in some format) to the mailing house and the USPS.

Let me know if you haven't received your issue and I'll send a replacement copy.
