<CORSA Chapters> Local Clubs and their communication

[Jim/Norma Diell]

Hello Bob,

Corsa Ontario publishes a newsletter, CORVAIRIATIONS, about 10x per year.  50+ of our members receive a PDF via email and 10+ receive a b+w photocopy via snail mail. Each issue runs 8 pages and on occasion we may go to 12.
Past issues are available on the Corsa Ontario website. Members may opt for both.

The club email list is maintained by the membership chair. Once or twice a year we get the newsletter bounced back from members who have changed email addresses and forget to notify Corsa Ontario.

The website is updated on a need basis, newsletters are added monthly and members can access the latest edition with their password.

Communications are maintained at each monthly meeting orally.
Regular emails go to the list members as news, requests, changes etc. are available.

PDF newsletters are forwarded to a list of nearby newsletter editors but I see that they forward CORVAIRIATIONS to many other distant clubs.

Jim Diell, Corsa Ontario

The Inland Northwest Corvair Club, Chapter 990 publishes a monthly newsletter, The REAR ENGINE REVIEW.  It is e-mailed as a word doc. attachment  to all members with computer access, as well as to other clubs, chapters, or individuals that might be interested in what INCC is up to. 


Approximately twenty to twenty-five copies are printed and mailed or otherwise distributed to those without computer access or who have expressed a desire for a printed hard copy.  (A few members receive it both ways.)  Printed and e-mail copies are virtually identical, the biggest exception being that the cover of the hard copy might be printed on various colors of paper. 


The Inland Northwest Corvair Club has a web-site at www.corvairclub.com which has been up and running since early 2011.  The monthly newsletter is posted on the site, although in a slightly different format from what is printed or e-mailed.  The home page is usually updated reflect the next upcoming event.  If nothing is scheduled for the immediate future, it feature anything from the Corvair world.

INCC Treasurer/RER editor

Dear CORSA Chapter representatives: 


Does your club produce a monthly newsletter? 

If yes, do you mail it to all members, send it electronically, or some 
mix of both? 

If not, how often do you produce one or by what other means do you 
communicate with your members? 

Do you have a club web site? 

If yes, how often is it updated?  What sort of information do you post 
there? 


Kindly reply to me, but if you wish to share your reply with the whole 
list go right ahead. 


I ask these questions because I am the newsletter editor/publisher in my 
local chapter, and I am interested to learn what other clubs are doing. 


For the record, my club still produces a monthly newsletter.  We 
distribute it via e-mail, exclusively, except that we have 
"grandfathered" seven members who legitimately do not have e-mail 
capability. 

The electronic newsletter is sent as a full-color PDF file; the handful 
of printed copies are black & white laser printouts. 

My club has a web site which one of our members updates each month based 
on the newsletter content. 


Thank you! 

Bob Marlow
