Apples and Oranges.  POCI has more than 10,000 members, CORSA has half 
that.  Not bad, actually, considering that Corvairs were produced for ten 
years and discontinued 36 years ago, while Oaklands were introduced in 1907 
and Pontiacs are still being built.

Membership recruitment and retention is key to CORSA's ability to balance 
and budget and control costs.

Still, no harm in our communicating with the POCI publisher to see what the 
costs are.
