<CORSA Chapters> Another Q or two

[tim mahler]

Many times,  for local or national events,  the place to start is the local 
Visitor & tourism Bureau.   Professionals there to bring in tourism 
dollars -- PCCA used them to get hotel bids for a local event that we hoped 
to draw from other locals.  For larger events (CORSA regionals and 
nationals),  they may even provide sponsorship money.
It does help to have someone who knows how to get sponsors and sales.

Conventions will see more sponsorships.  The 2005 change in the by-laws made 
that easier to do, before that,  the by-law verbiage was viewed as being 
even more restrictive than what Harry posted.
