Tour
Thanks for joining ACES, Dave, and no you haven't missed any
issues. Since you're a new Member, allow me to explain why you're behind
in getting your issues. Simple truth is that we're behind in getting
them out. Some of this is "normal," and some is not.
Each Summer
(May thru August) we travel extensively to ACES events, which gets us behind
in our magazine production. Usually we try to get caught up during the
Fall, and in the past have been fairly effective at accomplishing that.
In August of this year, however, while we were on our way to the final
ACES event of the year, an all-Chevelle cruise to our Regional in Seattle, we
learned that our 23-year-old son had died accidentally.
Since then
we've been trying to deal with the loss and put our lives back together. With
God's grace and the prayers and heartfelt support of our friends and the hobby
in general, we're finally starting to return to normalcy. In fact, we
just sent the July/August issue (Chevell-abration coverage) to press and are
already working on the Sept/Oct issue. the Nov/Dec issue will get our
full attention after that, and we hope to be caught up by the end of January.
I'm not trying to make any excuses for being behind, Dave.
I know we owe our Members everything they deserve, and I give my word
that you'll get all your issues of Chevelle World... only they'll be a little
late. In fact, since you joined in September, you'll actually get a
couple of extra issues because of our delayed mailing, since your Membership
won't come up for renewal until Sept '06.
BTW, as a general rule we
can't return phone calls... there'd simply be too many. However, I want
to remind you that all ACES Members can take advantage of the
ACES Hotline (615) 773-ACES (Tech, deciphering, authenticating,
or just talking Chevelles) from 7-11pm Central time. Give
us a shout then... Mondays seem to be busiest, but from mid-week on you
should be able to get through without much difficulty.
Thanks again for
joining ACES, Dave. We hope to earn your trust and continued support once we
get things back on track.
Chuck
