The Volume 7 #6 issue of RodMaker will mail on Wednesday morning. Anyone who had their subscription expire as of the last issue, and has not yet renewed, has until Monday afternoon to renew if they wish to receive this issue. Renewals that come in after then will pick back up with the Volume 8 #1 issue due out in February 2005.

To check your subscription expiration date, look to the right of your name on the false cover that comes on the outside of your issue. There you will see two digits seperated by a dash. If you see "7-5" then your subscription expired with the Volume 7 #5 issue. If you see "7-6" or "8- and up" then you're still good. Those numbers represent the volume and issue number of the last issue in your subscription.
