Of the responses we received, one thing quickly became clear: you’d like to see the magazine in your L mailbox on a more consistent basis (and ideally, way more often!). The magazine is a labor of love—a huge effort by a comparably tiny team of volunteers who work tirelessly to make sure the content you read is helpful, entertaining, and representative of our vast national organization. And we agree. It’s important to know when you can expect your much-needed dose of EV magazine. Below is the schedule for the magazine moving forward. VOLUME 48 ISSUE 1 (Annual Awards, Health and Fitness Issue) April 15 – Available Online April 30 – Available In Print VOLUME 48 ISSUE 2 (National Championships, Senior World Championships, Themed Content TBD) August 30 – Available Online (publish date may shift slightly so as to be at least two weeks after the National and World Championships) September 15 – Available In Print VOLUME 48 ISSUE 3 (Themed Content TBD) December 1 – Available Online December 15 – Available In Print Please feel free to send me a note with any questions, comments, concerns or (best of all) undying love for the magazine.
