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
