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

[aeroned at aol.com]

I'm assuming you mean before this....
I don't remember how I found out about it. I don't think that there was a  
mass mailing to the Chapters.
 
It may have been something like an e-mail to the Chapters list or a short  
article in the Communique.

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_

947 - San  Francisco Bay Area CORSA - _CORSANews at bigfoot.com_  
(mailto:CORSANews at bigfoot.com) 

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?
