I'm sorry to hear about pins being back ordered and missing mugs. Apparently, HL's supplier hasn't been on the ball supplying El Cajon with enough product.

This society gift and related stuff is the biggest mass mailing HL does (I think). If you joined or renewed a society membership, then HL can figure you will be purchasing more HL's in the future.

I wonder if they use that as an indicator on how the next year's business will be?

P.S. I haven't received my package yet.
