Fwd: An Unofficial Official Announcement

Not rendering correctly? View this email as a web page here.

Nuts & Volts Magazine

AN UNOFFICIAL OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

What happened to the April issue?

Nuts & Volts (and SERVO) are changing to a bi-monthly mailing schedule (among other changes). We planned to announce this about a month ago, but we grossly underestimated the amount of time it would take to get the details worked out with the printer, fulfillment house, web developer, distributors, newsstands, periodicals, co-mailing pools, and the list goes on. It turns out the process is not as simple as just changing the mailing frequency. Who’da thought?

Anyway, since details are important, we wanted to save the Official announcement until they are worked out, as they have a way of changing. However, since just about everyone is aware the April issue is overdue, it’s probably a good time to spill the beans and quash the rumor mills. So, the Official part of the announcement is that there is no April issue on the way, and there is a new larger May issue – at the printer – at this moment.

So stay tuned – more to come in the next few days and weeks!

And as always, a HUGE thanks to our sponsors. Check 'em out!

That's It, Enjoy!
