<CORSA Chapters> chapter Poll -- membership requirement

[tim mahler]

Sorry folks,  Jamie indicated I should have placed more emphasis on the bias 
portion of my poll

>>  What may change the discussion, introduce a bias,  is --

>>  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 above Questions?

Believe it or not  -- This is not about increasing revenue -- it was about 
how to provision   how to allow those disinterested in the Communique but 
interested in the Convention and other activities,  wanting to support CORSA 
and the Corvair community, be part of special interest groups etc.  the 
thought of 100% membership came after looking at the whole situation and it 
seemed like a logical opportunity to make that adjustment.  Proposed 
membership fee for just "being a member of CORSA, no Communique"  has not 
been established -- range is 10-20 dollars a year to cover non Communique 
expenses.

The adjustment to 100% membership has, to date, not been well received by 
the chapters,  but many individual members support the concept.

I am mostly interested in Chapter comments <unofficial is OK>  as this 
affects the chapters.   non members may well remain non members and members 
will (mostly) remain members.  the affect on the chapters -- as Mr Hubbell 
mentioned, the heartbeat of CORSA,  is what I am interested in at this time.

thanks everyone.  All your comments and responses are greatly appreciated. 
Yes, I know I have asked before but with the possible third tier concept on 
the table (the no Communique idea)   i had to ask again.

apologies for not making the "bias" obvious enough.
