2010 schedule:
Issue #1 mails approximately the last week of February.
Issue #2 mails approximately the last week of June.
Issue #3 mails approximately the last week of August. (Holiday issue)
Issue #4 mails approximately the last week of November. (Includes the Conference Special catalog)
Please note that Issue #3 is now the Holiday issue. This will give members more time to complete projects before the holidays.

If you need an extension, please let me know.
