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

Thu Feb 14 18:29:41 EST 2008

If we can work out the details,  Monthly dispensations should not be an 
issue.   Details include do we have everyone renew on given date (Jan 1)  or 
on 1 year after they join ?   trigger based on number of renewals received 
(send a check if 3 or more?,  hold to once a quarter if less)  ?   the 
new(ish)  CORSA database will allow some of this.  Need to get some of the 
kinks worked out.

tim

writing a check now to SCG  :-O
