<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve just received notice that our magazine subscription service (PSS) will be closing shop at the end of July. Managing each subscription individually seems unwieldy, and I’d like to find an alternative vendor. Please send along recommendations
– I would be happy to share the list with the group.<o:p></o:p></p>
