Christmas is Coming Okay, we know that Christmas is coming, but it seems sooooo far away. Really, it is right around the corner, isn’t it? We urge our Members to place their orders quickly so you will have everything in time to put under the tree. Every year, we have last-minute requests that we ship by overnight because they are ordering some two or three days before Christmas and the clock is ticking. Don’t get yourself in a rush situation, look at what we offer – check the website – and order early. Expect a Delay Because we will be on “Patrols” in Europe from mid-September until mid-October, KTB #179 will probably be a few weeks late. Please excuse any inconvenience, and thanks for understanding. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL The automatic renewal program has been well received by our Members. it saves time and the headaches of having to fill out a form each year, sticking it in the envelope and licking the flap, then hunting up a stamp etc. For our Members with credit card numbers in our files – there is nothing for you to do. When your dues are due, we simply charge them to the account and the Member is renewed for another year. It’s THAT simple! When you see the charge appear on your statement, send us an e-mail, FAX or phone us to let us know which FREE audiotape (soon to be FREE CD) you want, and if you have been a Member for five or more years, let us know which FREE videotape you want in addition to the audiotape (or CD). Take any videotape you want from our assortment of more than 140 tapes – it is your FREE gift. Members love this program. LAST PATROL Due to the rapidly advancing age of the veterans in Germany, our 2005 “Patrols” will, in all likelihood, be our last. The veterans are all well into their 80’s and many into their mid-90’s. God bless them, they are still with us – same as the veterans of other nations but at that age, not too many will be in the mood to venture out and visit with our group from the USA and other countries next year. We strongly urge you to plan ahead – our two patrols to Germany will be about the same time of the year as always. The exact dates will be firm by the end of this year (2004) but make the necessary arrangements now so you aren’t disappointed. All too often we hear “I’ll probably go next year.” Well, next year is THE NEXT YEAR. It will in all probability, be the last time you can go to these beautiful countries and meet these great veterans. If you miss the “Patrols” in 2005, you’ll cry all alone. Save your money – save your vacation time – save your frequent flier miles – save what you need to, just don’t miss it in 2005.
