<VV> Corvair Decade

[tim mahler]

The "Corvair Decade" (hardback) is currently available from CORSA for $45 
which includes shipping.  Contact Harry Jensen or Jerry Brown to order a 
copy.   You do not need to bid on numbers 1-20.    the Board just thought 
those would be a good fund-raiser.

The eBay auction is a convenient means to make 1-20 available to the most 
members, whether could attend a convention or not.  It also makes them 
available to non-members -- It is a fund raiser,  the more bidding the 
better in that respect.  Anybody and everybody is  able to bid.  For those 
who do not have a ID or just refuse to use ebay,  Contact another member, or 
friend,  or the Merchandise Chair (jerry Brown) or   and have a bid placed 
on your behalf.   Keep in mind,  these are ALL VOLUNTEERS.  DO NOT expect 
them to place a bid 2 seconds before it closes.  bid early; especially if 
you want a specific number like #1 or #7.   Regardless of how we decided to 
sell these signed books,  someone would complain

CORSA has been the publisher of the "Corvair Decade"  from the first to the 
most recent edition and have worked with Tony Fiore every step of the way. 
The current printing was available for the 2005 convention - 2 years.  The 
board had decided before the last printing pull the first 20 to be signed 
and sold at a later time.

Selling merchandise helps keep another dues increase at bay.  Anything that 
contributes to the many fixed costs of running a club is beneficial.   These 
costs do not go away -- renting a room for a meeting is the same for 10 
people as 40.  If I can spread it across 40 people, dues are less -- If 
everyone would recruit a new member or two once every 2 or 3 years,  we 
wouldn't need to find alternate sources of revenue.   the fixed costs are 
fixed -- insurance is the same.
