This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, the Herald has not darkened my mailbox in Virginia, either. It's getting annoying when the official magazine of the organization can't be published or mailed in a timely manner. I hate sounding like a cranky person (maybe all the barn cleaning for the Virginia Fjord Fjestival is taking its toll) but the deadline for ads, etc. was JUNE 1.
I'd also like to point out that the lateness of the Herald is a real disservice to advertisers and I am one of them. I know I am not alone. The Herald is supported by advertising revenue. Do we advertisers get a discount when the Herald is late? I have a stallion ad which may have generated some interest in June, but is less likely to in September. I really think that all the advertisers are owed at minimum an apology. Personally, I would prefer to have the Herald electronically. Since a .pdf file is generated to produce the magazine, why can't NFHR members get an electronic version if they so desire? It would save on the costs of printing, postage and reduce aggravation of having the Herald appear like Brigadoon in the mists. I work for a tiny nonprofit association and we have no problem getting a quarterly publication out on time, every time. My rant is over and I now will return to preparing the farm for the Virginia Fjord Fjestival. Margaret A.
