PW issue 34
« on: April 06, 2024, 21:10:43 »
Received my latest issue of PW in today’s post.  What a great issue.  Worldwide celebrations of 60 years of Pagodas.  Some gorgeous photos throughout.  Well done!

The magazine wrapper is the best I've seen for any club magazine.

 As always, a great magazine filled with member's stories and stunning photos of our beloved Pagodas. I don't drive ours nearly as often as I should these days but after getting this issue, I had to go out to garage and roll back the car's cover just to admire it once again. One beautiful automobile for sure! Thanks to all that contribute in making Pagoda World such a great publication.

A hectic and often busy lifestyle can get in the way of the more pleasurable things in life, so it was a pleasant surprise to receive something pleasing in my post this morning  :)
Beautifully written, wonderful pictures, and familiar friendly faces....

Thank you so much,

For some reason, I haven't received the last two issues of PW.  I am a full member in good standing.  Any clues as to why?

Mine arrived today, wonderful issue, they keep getting better and better.

Loved the photography, particularly the shot on the rear cover.

Many thanks for all the time, effort and contributions made by everyone concerned.

Hello Michael,

I checked my profile.  It lists only the city (Newton) and state (MA) of my residence.  Where should the full address be listed? Many thanks.

Yes, thanks.  The address is correct, but for some reason didn’t get the last two issues. Can you please look into this?

...happy to see that the distribution works as it should...

As a reminder to all members, the USA (domestic) issues are sent via PRESORT STANDARD MAIL. This is normally treated much the same as first class mail, but if you have a mail forwarding, or a vacation hold, sometimes ONLY first class mail is held or forwarded. Also, we have heard stories of neighbors or spouses doing a mail favor and not saving these for our members...of that we have no control over!

INTERNATIONAL issues for all addresses outside the USA, these are sent FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL and the time to get to their destinations has been speeded up considerably over years past.
