CORSA 2012: CORSA Convention at Sturbridge. Registration is OPEN! Vending, Advertising & Sponsorship, too!

[Allan Lacki]

Hello Everybody,  (From Al Lacki)

Here's an update on our Internet publicity campaign for the Convention:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This morning, I updated the Convention website with full instructions 
for pre-registration, including not only via hardcopy forms, but also 
via the online registration facility that Harry Jensen built for the 
CORSA website.  The instructions include a PDF document showing screen 
shots demonstrating the online registration process, step by step.  All 
this is available at:

http://www.corvair.org/chapters/necc/convention/registration.htm

If you have any tips for making the instructions more clear, please let 
me know.  I always appreciate your comments and advice!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This afternoon, I posted the following message on all the major Corvair 
message boards on the internet:  Virtual Vairs, Corvair Center Forum, 
Corvair Forum, and FastVairs.  I also sent it to all the CORSA Chapter 
contacts using the "chapters at corvair.org" email address.

CORSA Convention at Sturbridge.  Registration is OPEN!

REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

As you might expect, to participant in CORSA Convention activities, you 
need to be a current CORSA member.  If you are, then you can register 
for the CORSA Convention one of three ways:

1.  Pre-register and pre-pay online.  You'll be sure to lock-in 
reservations for the activities you want!  And the event organizers will 
have all your registration info ahead of time, which makes for better 
efficiency for timing, scoring, awards, and announcements.

2.  Pre-register via U.S. Postal.  Visit the Convention website, print 
out the hardcopy registration form, fill it in, and mail it to CORSA 
with your check or credit card number.

3.  Register in-person at the Convention.  Yes, of course we will have a 
fully-staffed registration booth at the host hotel where you can fill in 
the registration forms and pay your fees.  But it may be a bit risky. 
Some of the events may be sold out before you arrive!  Don't say we 
didn't warn you!

JOIN CORSA NOW AND SAVE UP TO A $45 VALUE!

Did you say you are not a member of CORSA?  Well, now is the time to 
join!  If you have not been a CORSA member in the last year, the CORSA 
Board is so sure you'll like what you see, they will waive the 
Individual or Family Registration Fees for this year's International 
Convention at Sturbridge, Massachusetts.

This afternoon, I sent the following email to all of the CORSA chapters, 
via the "chapters at corvair.org" email address.  Similar messages were 
posted on the message boards earlier just a couple of weeks ago, so I'll 
wait a while before I repost this to them again.


2012 CORSA Convention at Sturbridge.  Vending, Advertising & Sponsorship!

Upwards of 800 Corvair enthusiasts and their families will gather at the 
Sturbridge Host Hotel this summer for the convention of the Corvair 
Society of America, the first time this annual event has been held in 
New England.  It's a great opportunity for you to promote your business, 
sell your wares, and put your name in front of a receptive and loyal 
audience.

CALLING ALL VENDORS!

The Sturbridge Host Hotel and Conference Center features a particularly 
spacious indoor vendor area which is right on the ground floor with 
direct, easy access to the parking lot.  Outdoor flea market space is 
also available.  Given the generous indoor area and a somewhat limited 
number of outdoor spaces we encourage vendors with clean merchandise to 
select indoor space.

ADVERTISE WITH US!

Promotional opportunities range from advertising in the convention 
souvenir program booklet (given to all registrants) to sponsoring 
individual events, activities, and more.

Space is limited and sponsorship opportunities are first-come 
first-served, so don't wait to get on board!
