<CORSA Chapters> Membership renewals/ Poll

[Jim Simpson]

Group Corvair recently switched from renewals that coincided with the 
member's original joining date to everyone's coming due in 
January.  We gave up on the "date of joining" method to simplify the 
bookkeeping and to make it easier to notify everyone that their dues 
were coming due.  (The transition was fairly straightforward -- we 
prorated the dues during the transition year.) We charge $12/year and 
do prorate for new members.

We strongly encourage membership in CORSA, but don't require it.  The 
individual member handles their membership with CORSA.
