<VV> idea for getting new Corsa members

[Wrsssatty at aol.com]

Those of you who have received your April communique may have read my 
"Reunion" article about my drive to the Lexington convention last summer and my stop 
along the way to meet the current owner of the dealership that sold my car 
when it was new.  Now, as Paul Harvey would say, the REST of the story:  I was so 
grateful for the warm, kind and generous welcome I received at the dealership 
that I checked the Corsa roster to see if the dealer was a Corsa member (he 
owns a '67 Monza convertible).  He was not, so I filled out a membership 
application in his name and included a check payable to corsa with an envelope and 
mailed it to him.  I figured even if he's unimpressed, the communique might 
find its way to the dealership's service department's waiting area thus giving 
Corsa greater exposure.  Anyway, this leads me to a suggestion:  next time a 
good Corvair buddy helps you with something, such as working on your car for you, 
and he or she won't take payment for it, why not look to see if he or she is 
a member of Corsa and, if not, consider a "gift" membership.  Perhaps the BoD 
of Corsa might even consider extending a small discount for gift memberships!
