I sent May’s issue to press today. I also finished entering all the paper/Word/Excel affiliate lists – except for Pennsylvania, which Dee in Minnesota is working on - and certified them through AMMS.
 
Address changes and death notices also keep coming in, and I’ve been taking care of those too. Remember, your deadline is still March 15th!
 
FYI, I will be out of the office at least part of next week for jury duty, but will most likely be on the BOP call Monday night.
