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.
