[1969] Are we (the '69 Vair enthusiast group) still functioning?

[Steven Brown]

The group isn't dead, but it's not the same group as it has been in the 
hey-day years of CORSA. We have on the order of 200 members on our 
Group's Facebook page and because of it, we have been able to continue 
to grow our 1969 vehicle roster. Like it or not, there have been less 
than a handful of messages on this email forum for the past couple of 
years. In fact, as far as I can recall, this is about the only 
meaningful exchange we've had for at least two years on this forum. Most 
of our member interactions over the past couple of years are on Facebook 
because that's where they want to interact. We are not putting any more 
effort into that than this; it's just grown on it's own. Dave, John, and 
Jim have kept up our membership files and rosters, and tried to put 
together a newsletter with close to zero  contributions from our 
members. As much as a few members say they want a newsletter, there's no 
significant action behind that expressed desire. It's no one's fault - 
it's the way things are. We can lament it, but we aren't going to change 
it either. Want a newsletter? How about sending in an article or news? 
Want a gathering at the convention? How about volunteering to organize it?
