A REMINDER TO ESC READERS

Please remember to keep your mailing addresses up to date.

When ESC mails an issue to the wrong address, Canada Post destroys the issue and returns the torn cover to the journal (I know: horrifying!). That means that when we later receive word of an incorrect address, we need to send out a new issue (worth $20.00), and pay postage of around $8.00. That's an extraordinary expense for the journal. For this past issue, 32.2-3, we've now received a dozen requests for misdirected items; responding to those requests has cost ESC, then, in the neighbourhood of $336.00 (this does not include the cost of the destroyed issue). That's a lot of wasted money.

Furthermore, our print run is only slightly in excess of our mailing list, as storage and unnecessary print costs are both concerns. When we process unfilled claims, we run the risk of depleting our stock and failing to fill back order requests in the future.

So, again, please be sure to update any change of address by notifying the ACCUTE office ([email protected]) as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, ESC will no longer be able to forward a second copy should the address on file be out of date.

On a happier note: see you in Vancouver!
