[SCA-AE] Deadline extended: TI Editor and Art Director

Mon Jul 10 13:28:41 EDT 2006

I have the same problem.  I changed residences and I haven't seen an AEstel,
since.  Of course I haven't seen much of any other mail, either.  Even though I
did the whole change of address thing online and got confirmation of the
change.  It seems that some local post offices don't seem to check the CoA
information before sending the postal carriers out with the mail.

Cheers!

Robert l'Étourdi (who has changed his address with the SCA and is still waiting
for an AEstel)
