There is a date on the notice, just above your name. Unless you sent your payment more than 3 weeks before the date on the notice, there's probably no need for worry. Chances are extremely good that the notice was run before the payment was received and posted in New Jersey. If you get yet another notice, though, we should address it. (Notices are run once a month.) Since our pubs are quarterly, there's generally plenty of time for notices and payments to find each other before you've missed an issue. But we really appreciate your efforts to renew early—they do help us out. They let us know you like what you get (which makes our efforts feel worthwhile) and it saves us money when we don't need to send additional notices. So, thank you.
