Editor's notes: News; tradeshows; website; Readers Poll results
March 19, 2009
NewsWe just finished up the latest (April 2009) issue and sent it off to the press for their review.
Subscribers in the United States can expect delivery between April 1 - April 10. (It's mailed in California, so it takes a few days to reach Midwest and East Coast states.) Print subscribers in Canada and other countries should expect delivery between April 5 - April 14.
The issue will be posted to our website on March 27 for online subscribers.
I'll be catching up on emails and trying to get through the stack of mail on my desk before heading out to Puyallup (Washington) tomorrow morning for the GPAA Gold & Treasure Show this weekend. If you are going to be at the show, please stop by and say hello.
