Question Poncho Perfection

Has anyone received a current issue within the last 2 months? My last issue was June 2019?

Yes, the Poncho issue is every other month, and the club ( I can’t remember the name ) newsletter that they are aligned with will fill in the other months.

Hi Everyone,

We had an issue with the printer. I can't go into the story here but it caused a HUGE delay getting the (I know this is October) August issue out. So much in fact that we had to make a hard decision to drop that printer and move to a new one. We had to get on their schedule so it's set us back quite a bit. I can assure you that although its going to be very late, the August issue will be out this month as will the October issue.

On behalf of The Cruisin' Tigers, please accept my apologies. But think of all the reading material you'll have to catch up on!!

Yes - Poncho Perfection and Tiger News alternate every month. If you are a member, you should have received the digital copy of both on time (we send out the digital copy to all members). If you didn't get the digital copy, let me know and I can get one to you.

We fell behind schedule due to travel and a computer failure, as well as printer issues. The August issue is at the printer and will be mailed out shortly. The computer is back from the shop and October issue will follow soon. I apologize for the delays. The buck stops here and I assume all responsibility.

As long as one particular issue gets here, I’m good!
