 Well, don’t sign ME up for that change. :-0

In fact, I cannot think of how that would be of any benefit to POCA, but instead believe it to be quite the opposite.

When I joined the Family back in 2001, we had TWO quarterly full-color magazines coming to our homes - Pantera International and Profiles.
The PI magazine died a silent and unexplained demise shortly after it was sold to George Pence.
Then the regularity of Profiles went from Golden to “Is there still supposed to be a quarterly Profiles?”
Profiles, under new Editor Mike Haney, seems to be back on track. Which I think is excellent timing that coincides with a huge upturn in our Marque’s visibility in the automotive press, auctions and Big-name rebuilds.
Offering a quarterly, full-color deTomaso magazine is certainly a plus in attracting new POCA members. Likely many of those new owners, long-time car guys but Johnnie-come-lately to Panteras, are used to marque clubs that DO have such publications.

Instead of reducing POCA membership publication offerings, I propose the new BOD look into making the newsletter a full-color publication.

Do I hear a second?
