Calendar update?

I got confirmation this morning that the calendars are scheduled to be delivered on 12/29. It seems we got caught in the holiday rush. One more reason photos need to be submitted earlier.
 
I now have the calendars and am starting to mail them out. They are very nice!
Order of mailing is Diamond, Platinum, and then Gold.
The Diamond calendar will be mailed in a large shipping tube via USPS that also holds a nice surprise.
All of this takes lots of time to do and I ask you to be patient. Hopefully next year you all will send in photos early and we can get this calendar printed and mailed out before the end of the year!

We appreciate all your time and effort into doing this for us, you're the best!
 
Mine arrived today. Running out of ways to praise you. Well done again.
 
I got my package today. Nice work. It was really nice to see Dan and Bills cars in the calendar. I really miss working with Dan. I had less interaction with Bill, but deeply respected his contributions to the forums.
 
My SV is “Miss February” and, since I have posted more than enough about the car over the years, I thought I would tell the story behind the picture.

The dog is Norman, my daughter Sara’s Norwich Terrier. Sara and I have an annual Christmas tradition, where we bundle up, put the top down and take one of her dogs to the beach. Sara generally documents the occasion with pictures and videos. This is actually the second time one of her photos from our drive has been in the calendar. The photo below is from 2016 and shows Kolbi, her Labradoodle*, sitting beside my car at the beach. I don‘t remember exactly when it was used in our calendar, but assume it was probably 2017.

*Just a quick aside. People in the States often identify their dogs as an “Australian Labradoodle” because Labradors and Poodles were first deliberately bread together in Australia. Kolbi is a true Australian Labradoodle, as Sara got him when she lived in Australia c2010. My wife and I visited her and hooked up with Michael King and some of the Melbourne Alpine and Tiger crowd while we were there. It was a wonderful trip that we all still talk about.
 
Haven’t received my calendar yet, was wondering if the tariffs and customs might be slowing USPS mail to Canada.
It’s a huge job to put together all the pieces together to assemble the calendar and ship them, so I would like to recognize and thank Eric for his efforts.
 
I just mailed the last batch of calendars to Canada last Tuesday and yours was in that group. The week before, I mailed calendars to Australia.
That was the last of my calendar mailings for paid up members this year. Thanks for the recognition of myself getting these mailed out to our sponsoring members. SAOCA Vice President Greggers did a huge amount of work organizing the photos you submitted and then creating that great calendar featuring our Sunbeams! And thanks to all who did submit photos-please keep them coming.
 
Calendar arrived today. What a super job. Pictures are very nice as well.
Well done everyone involved in putting this yearly project together.
 
Looks like the Post Office has eaten another calendar! Sending you a PM.
