Chow Life Subscriptions
The CCCI Board of Directors has given thoughtful consideration to how we can continue sharing our club magazine with you, our members. With that goal in mind, we will move forward with the new magazine policy outlined below.
· Chow Life will now be published annually. It will combine the Awards recognitions from the Summer issue & the National Specialty Winner recognitions from the Fall issue into a single double issue. These recognitions will be published in color at no additional charge.
· Subscription Deadline – May 31st
· Subscriptions rates are as follows –
MEMBERS NON-MEMBERS
United States............. $ 35..................... $ 45
Canada...................... $ 45..................... $ 55
Foreign...................... $ 75..................... $ 85
Upgrading to 1st class shipping has been reduced to an additional $10.
The advertising deadline is July 15th including payment. However, camera ready ads may be submitted up to July 31st, but payment must be made by July 15th. Camera‐Ready Ads are preferred but not required.
ONE reminder will be sent out after the deadline regarding missing items. If they are not received promptly, it will not be possible to included them.
· Payments can be sent to PayPal at [email protected] or by check made payable to Chow Life mailed to Debbie Hockaday, CCCI Treasurer, 11059 Carriage Road, Providence Forge, VA 23140-3524. Please include a note with your payment indicating what it’s for (e.g. subscription, 1st class upgrade, ad, deposit, etc.).
· The advertising rates, as well as the camera-ready & 2-page spread discounts will stay the same. However, there will no longer be a frequent advertiser discount.
· The Specialty Win Certificates of $60 off for BOB or BOS wins and $50 off for WD or WB wins will continue to be offered, but you will only be able to use only 1 certificate per color ad page.
During the past few months, the certificates were not given out at some specialties, but the discount will be honored for those winners.
· There will be a lottery for the Front Cover (FC), Inside Front Cover (IFC), Back Cover (BC), and Inside Back Cover (IBC) as follows –
o By December 31st those interested should submit their names to [email protected].
o The drawing will be held on January 15th on live Facebook.
o We will draw 4 names: #1 – Front Cover; #2 – Inside Front Cover; #3 – Back Cover; and #4 – Inside Back Cover.
o Those selected will have until January 22nd to confirm their acceptance of the ad and they will have until January 31st to pay a $100 deposit, which will be applied to their ad.
o If any page is unclaimed or something arises that prevents someone being able to use their ad, the lower selections will be moved up. Any remaining page will then be offered, by an email blast, to anyone interested.
