Hello Joe Santana:

Glad you brought this up. I've been a PI and PAC member for over 20 years. I was wondering shy I had not received the membership roster that was due out this year. Then I read your comment about the News Counselor not being published any longer. That reminded me that I had not seen it in a while.

I went to the PI website (they could learn a thing or three from BigKev) to see what it had to say and it still lists that the News Counselor is being published and is a "benefit of membership." However, in looking over the website a lot of things are out of date. Example: Link to purchasing back issues of the club magazine have the earliest listing as 2006 - surely they could put up the 2007 to 2011 issues.

So I decided to hit the "contact link" and ask when my News Counselors and membership roster will be delivered.

I got a reply in about 30 minutes and I have copied it here:

Mr. Detroit,

The News Counselor has not been published for 2 years, because the editor retired and nobody else wanted to do it. So we poured the money into a better magazine - full color throughout and now, more pages, up to 68 pages plus covers. A roster is planned for 2013, our Golden anniversary year. Thanks, for asking

Don Hull
President
Packards International


My reply was that I wish you would have mentioned this in the remaining magazine and that you need to update the website.

Just thought you would like to know.
