Be advised that some of us have yet received out ballots. This evening I wrote to Claudia Dickinson of the ACA. Claudia explained to me that some of us who renewed via electronic membership were accidentally not put on the mailing list.

Hope you are all having fun putting it together! I remember what it was like this time last year. The calm before the storm can be so unsettling! Andy
