Message received. Enjoy your club, new members aren't that important to try and draw in.

POCI has the nicest monthly magazines of all the national car clubs I belong to,
and puts on a much better convention than the Chevy and Buick clubs I belong to, as well
as offering lots of great seminars and drag racing as well and a Road Warrior class for those
who don't want to get involved with competitive judging. They have come light years from
what they offered in the 80's and still people complain That's OK, you don't have to belong
to it. It's there if you want to partake in the festivities. If not, have fun on your own. I don't
have a personal stake in this argument.....I am not an officer or director, but I am happy
with POCI and I don't think much needs "fixing" except improvements to the website....which
is not that big a deal to me. PY got the jump on POCI when it comes to Pontiac forums and
I don't see the need for two national Pontiac forums anyway. Also, recently POCI was able
to establish a national Pontiac museum in Pontiac Illinois.....I haven't seen the Buick or Chevy
clubs do that either. If you don't like POCI, vote with your feet, but I'm not going to just
sit here and say nothing when the club gets badmouthed because I think it is a great organization.
