I haven't gotten anything in the mail in probably 5-6 years since my subscription lapsed. I'll probably look into re-uping if I get my old number back ;-)

Getting your old number back has been our policy since 2006. Just put a note on the reply card and we will take care of it. It is really too bad we didn't always do that. The negative feedback from that still lingers even after all these years. We are trying to make the Pontiac hobby as friendly and inviting as we can for all Pontiac fans.

I find it appalling that I received this in the mail. It's a shame how easy it is for people to get ahold of your name/address for this purpose.

Love the flyer - but I'm biased since our G8 and my son's Tempest (Wichita cover Concourse shot) are on it. We would both be renewing even without the mailer, but the noticeably better Smoke Signals makes it a no-brainer. Congrats and thanks.

Just got the mailing today (Christmas Eve) and will get it back in the mail Friday morning. As I understand it I have to use the Smail to get the Associate Membership for my Wife and Daughter. Thanks for all you are doing for the hobby/habit.

Actually, you can just call Paul at the club office at 877-368-3454 and handle it over the phone. It will be easier and faster that way.

Although I was already a POCI member, I am really happy with the changes that are being made. Not only has the magazine been critical to surviving cabin fever, I've also been able to connect with other Pontiac owners (even members of this forum). My experience with POCI since I joined in July of 2013 has been all positive. I'm also a member of the Oldsmobile Club of America (and serve as a chapter Vice President) and can tell you that without GM building these cars the brand is ripe for irrelevance unless the Pontiac "world" comes together as Don is trying to do. Great work POCI!

I recieved my POCI literature yesterday. I'd like the TA in the lower right corner please.

Plus my son bought me a metal sign for Christmas.

Where is the convention going to be in 2015?

I guess those cookies we periodically place in the mail-box pay off ; my postcard arrived on the 18th.

Still haven't gotten my offer. No reply to the email I left on the site regarding my old number ( have not been active since mid 90's ) but hopefully I'll get things rolling after the Holday is over....

Just to clarify, you don't actually need the brochure to get the extra two months. Just call Paul at 877-368-3454 and he will take care of it for you.

Don, When HPP went under, I had just re-upped for three years. My timing is horrible because the same thing happened with Pontiac Enthusiast. Shortly after HPP tanked, you posted about Smoke Signals. After reading your post, I immediately signed up for two years. I am pleasantly surprised and I look forward every month for Smoke Signals. Thanks for your efforts. Kevin
