Heart of Georgia Corvair Club Chapter #310

1) Does your chapter require CORSA membership? - No

2) Have you discussed 100% CORSA membership in you chapter meetings? - Yes, 
most recently on December 5, 2009.

3) Would your chapter support 100% CORSA membership? - No.

Most of our members feel everyone should join CORSA, but we will not force 
people to do so.  We would risk losing membership and driving people away 
from the hobby is not the result we are looking for.  We did enact a new 
measure to promote CORSA to new members in our club:  Starting in 2010, 
every new member who is not a CORSA member will receive from the club a one 
year membership in CORSA.  We feel CORSA is a worthy organization and hope 
this effort will help grow CORSA's membership.  It's up to CORSA to convince 
them to renew, and I feel most will.

Background -- After the most recent discussion on requiring 100% CORSA
membership in CORSA chapters, the board is again looking at this issue.  It
has almost become an annual rite.  the survey (almost 2 years ago) indicated
a slight majority of individuals would favor such.  That comment may bias
some polls, but I doubt it would this group.

What may change the discussion, introduce a bias,  is -- 
What if CORSA offered a nonCommunique membership?  Voting rights, attend
conventions, other CORSA sanctioned events ,  be eligible for several
special interest groups (who require CORSA membership today)  such as Stock
Corvair Group,  Performance Corvair group, and others  I think but do not
recall precisely that Corvanatics also requires CORSA membership.  These
special interest group meet face to face at the CORSA convention.

Would that make a difference to your chapter in the approve Questions?

(100% membership also means chapter insurance and benefit filing fee is
waived for all chapters so "goes away")

The board has not made any decisions,  but have (re)started talking about
the above.  The goal is to make CORSA better.

thanks
tim mahler
president, CORSA
