Polka Notes (week of July 10th)

ATTENTION READERS!
Please tell all your favorite polka bands, performers, and singers to send in their schedules to us so we can post it in The Polka Notes!  Some people think that the Post Eagle is no longer in existence and we have to make sure that they know that we are still here – only in a different way these days. Also…. please tell them to advertise with us on our website. If anyone is holding an event, what better way to spread the word but through the Post Eagle! Thank you.

A friendly reminder to all polka bandleaders, promoters, clubs, organizations, etc. to please send all your ads, news releases, band schedules, write-ups etc. to me as early as possible to insure it will be included in my Polka Notes Column. You can send the information to Stan Skawinski, 6908 Ranch Rd., Sarasota, FL 34243; e-mail: stanspolkanotes@msn.com or call/fax me at (941) 359-8790. or email directly to: Post Eagle (posteagle@aol.com)
