I re-upped at MCACN. I put my old POCI number on the app and got it back no problem.
Thank you Don for all your hard work!

Larry Kummer convinced me to quit POCI several years ago. If I join again, Don Keefe is the reason why. Even though I am no longer a member, on behalf of my fellow Pontiac fans, thank you for the changes you've brought about within POCI.

Nice work Don. I stumbled upon the new website by accident. Looks good.

Not intended to derail this thread but how do you get into the POCI forum?

The link for the message forums becomes available once you log into the members section. It is a simple click from there. At least that is how it is working for me personally. please let me know if you have any trouble with your login and I will see if there is something we can do to fix that.

Works for me.

After login to main page, look for the "Forums & Classifieds" button above your membership info.

After clicking the button should take you to a secure Forums link.

Through the think and thin of my Pontiac Life, POCI is the ONLY club/membership that I have maintained. Several years back I dropped all subscription &/or memberships as it was just too many offering to little. It was the new changes being mentioned and applied to POCI by all involved that helped me make an easy decision to keep on with the club.
I for one look forward to all the great ideas/changes POCI has in store for us.

Kudos to you ALL for keeping PONTIAC alive!

I've been driving Pontiacs since 1977 and subscribed to HPP for the last 25 years. I look forward to receiving the POCI flyer in the mail, I'll keep an eye out for it. I was not happy when HPP put a Camaro on the cover just before getting shutdown, but I still enjoyed the mag. Count me in as a new member.

Just a quick question- how many of you have received the mailing from POCI and how many are planning on acting on it? Please let us know either way. Thanks!

For those of you who received a mailing and are a current POCI member, please pass them along to a friend. Our goal is to pass the 10,000 member mark in 2015. We are now over 8,600. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I received my mailer yesterday and i have to admit that this is exactly what i am looking for. Been a long time subscriber to HPP and after that folding was kinda leery about another mag subscription not knowing how long they will stay around ,but the appeal of Smoke Signals and my need to have my Pontiac crave satisfied am looking forward to joining and the magazine in general.

For those who are not members, I encourage you to strongly consider joining POCI. I've been a member since 1979 and it is important to support our Pontiac hobby by joining this club.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to all

I was a POCI member back in the early 90's and in a club, but moved and let everything lapse. Iwill be rejoining POCI ASAP. I had an electronic subscription to HPP on Barnes & Noble nook, will I be getting the mailer? Regardless, I plan to rejoin, just wondered. Hated to see HPP go, but maybe this was what was needed for us to appreciate and support POCI again. Irgoatmike
