<CORSA Chapters> [Corsabod] Chapter e-mail contacts

[Bill Hubbell]

All well and good, Ned, but how do the chapters know about this?  Has
information about how to do this been sent out to all chapters?

Apparently, there are several chapters that are unaware of the process to  
update the chapter info on the CORSA web site. This is not part of Harry's  
job.
 
The first step is to find out who is the designated representative for your 
 chapter. This person has been granted access to the CORSA database 
on-line. When  they log on to the Membership Center there will be a link for

"Chapter Report"  on the left side.
 
Once you get to the Chapter Report page, you can edit the Chapter info,  
including things like the officers, e-mail address and chapter web site. 
You'll  be able to file the annual Chapter report as well as pay the chapter
fee, 
if you  need to.
 
The Chapters need to keep their info up to date. This could very well be  
the place a prospective new member will find out about your chapter. If
CORSA 
is  to grow, it will happen from the local level more than the national. At 
least  that's what I believe.

Recently there has been a lot of talk about how to change CORSA. A good  
deal of that talk as involved utilizing the Internet more. Matt Nall
conducted 
 a test of the e-mail addresses listed on the CORSA chapters web page. The 
test  has two parts, is the address good and how long for the reply.
 
CORSA has 125 chapters listed on the web site. Two chapters are now  
defunct, Chapter 799 in El Paso, TX and 975 in South Oregon. One chapter,
052  in 
Vermont, does not want to use e-mail.
 
Roll Call of the bad, 12 e-mails failed (chapter, location, e-mail)
004 - AirVairs - _airvair at richnet.net_ (mailto:airvair at richnet.net)  
(Interesting  that they list Tony Fiore as the newsletter editor)
012 - CA, AR Racing - _corvairjack at verizon.net_ 
(mailto:corvairjack at verizon.net) 
107 - Resurrection Corvairs of Yonkers - _npasquale at smtplink.mssm.edu_ 
(mailto:npasquale at smtplink.mssm.edu)

One chapter's mailbox is full and cannot accept more mail, that's Chapter  
008, the Ultra Van special interest group - _lew111 at verizon.net_ 
(mailto:lew111 at verizon.net) 
 
You may say that's not too bad, but not really. Of the remaining 110  
chapters, only 60 have replied. That's only a little over half of the
chapters.
 
If you are in one of the above chapters or know someone who is, please  let 
them know of the problem with their e-mail. I'd also ask that everyone  
check to see if their e-mail contact replied to the test. It is your chapter

that is being hurt by this lack of contact.
 
A fair warning, the next test will be for the Chapter web sites listed on  
the CORSA web site. The sites will be checked for contact info and to see 
how  current they are. If your chapter site has newsletters or "Past Events"

how  current are they?
