<CORSA Chapters> Chapter Reports -- Qs / Poll

[tim mahler]

Merry Christmas everyone.   It looks like I will have a white Christmas just 
not snow,  ice.  My yard is white -- some snow beneath all the new ice on 
top.  It should be gone by the weekend.  Hopefully.

At the CORSA finance committee,  it was noted that few chapters have filed 
the their Chapter report.  We are trying to do this online versus the old 
paper format,  so I am guessing numerous problems exist.  Need help 
identifying those problems so they can be fixed. (I say that frequently at 
work, I can't fix something if I don't know its broke or what is broke)
 I know Clark Hartzel has mentioned that deleting old members, from a large 
chapter, was far more work then it should be. Harry made a correction there.

Chapter Report filing went on hiatus for 2006 and 2007.  For 2008,  A new 
all electronic filing was created.

Did chapter's simply forget to update their reports?
Is the process to cumbersome?
Did the chapter contact change or still unknown?

We used this list and the Communique to ask for filings. We may have emailed 
a note to the Chapter contact person.
Problems /Questions/and ??-- since it has been a few years since we last 
updated the chapter info,
     is the contact person correct?
    is the person's email address correct
    Should we have also sent a reminder to the chapter postal address?
    Should the mailing include a list of members on record with CORSA?

    We want the chapter contact to update the membership records for their 
chapter (more on that in another note)
    Are their ways we could make the update easier?

Should CORSA eliminate the "filing fee"?
Should CORSA eliminate the chapter report altogether ?
If yes, How will the chapter information be (insured to be) kept up to date?

Dang,  as I was slowing waking up this morning,  I had all kinds of good 
questions to ask,  or at least I thought they were good questions in my 
drowsy state of mind.......

Any and all responses appreciated.   on this list or directly to me at 
flat6vair at comcast.net      It is the holidays,  so like you, I expect to be 
spending lots of time with family .

thanks
