When it comes to keeping informed Tony Thomas on Nevada has no excuse.
A lifetime member of AARP his bi-monthly bulletins have always been a welcome addition in the mail.
That is until about a year and a half ago when the handy-handouts just stopped coming.
“They said there's a little glitch in the computer but we'll send out back issues,” said Thomas.
Trouble is, those glitches continued until this week when the group that advocates for Americans over 50, sent Thomas a little light reading.
One thousand copies of the January-February Edition.
Clearly a thousand of these did not fit in Thomas’s regular box.
He says the mailman rang the bell with this special delivery.
And since his name is on each issue, the mailman had no choice but to leave them.
“I called AARP what do you want me to do send them back? You want me to put the $430 in stamps it cost you to send it to me?” jokes Thomas.
Barry Gold with AARP Nevada says, absolutely not.
“Every large organization sometimes unusual things happen,” said Gold.
Gold says his staff will be happy to collect the extra bulletins in person.
Truth is, his office hasn't received its shipment.
A number that usually sits around you guessed it, 1,000 copies.
