<CORSA Chapters> Enforced CORSA membership

[Steve Goodman]

Hello all:  It wasn't a big deal to make some copies of the survey and take them to each meeting.  Surveys never get filled out if left up to the individual.   

RE: your remark about age/etc, I should have bought the lifetime membership back in the good ol' days, I recall it was $100?

Your remarks about me being younger than many, I agree; this is one of the problems we are facing:  getting younger folks into the group.

 Steve

  Steve, you are going to ruin the demographic of the west.  You will be the longest member to respond so far which will move the average from the current 28 years to something longer.  You are older than I but you are younger than the current average age of people who have responded.  
   
  Thanks for collecting the surveys at the RMC and PPCC meetings.  They will provide valuable input.  Of course they will all agree with me!!! because I'm still a member of both of those clubs....
   
  Dennis
