PUBLISHER'S NOTE

POL for the immediate future will be published on a bi-weekly schedule. It's been that way most of the summer, and will continue that way for at least this summer. I may decide to go back to a weekly schedule after summer ends, but the amount of news, press releases and phonecard offers do not warrant a weekly publication.

NEWS / COMMENTARIES

Washington DC Club Meeting

From: Del Deliaginis

Summertime, hot as it is, swiftly passes by. Let's get together in the cool atmosphere of the Pentagon City Mall on Wednesday, August 4th at 7:00pm for a meeting of the Washington DC Phone Card Collector's Group. There should be lots of stuff to talk about. There's a Telecard show in New York at the end of August. Bring things to show, share

and trade. It's been some time since I've seen some of you. I hope you can make it to this meeting.
