<CORSA Chapters> [Corsabod] <VV> CORSA National Membership

[AeroNed at aol.com]

Maybe the chapters that require CORSA membership could be noted on the  
chapter page.

Thanks  Mark

I like the idea,  in principle.  In practice,  it  gets kinda hard with over 
120 chapters to list.
Online -- this is much  easier to do (drop down list; other selection method)

Unless,  hmm,  we added yearly dues to the chapter list already listed  ?

Next big issue is Renew 1st of the year (set period)  vs 1year  after joining 
Majority of chapters renew at one given point in time.   pro-rate first year?
Related issue -- would need to do something about the  26 month vs 2year 
renewals. do chapter accept 2 year renewals?   desirable?

some fine print that can be worked  out.
