<VV> 100% CORSA membership requirement

[Richard Gebhardt]

Guys, lighten up and consider the following.

Every convention I attend, I go to the CORSA officers meeting where the 
current state
of CORSA is discussed. At every one, the major discussion always turns to 
the
decline in membership and with it, the decline in revenue.

I have been involved with CORSA and corvairs since the early eighties. I
am a past president and chief bottle-washer of the North Texas club,
worked in both the Dallas90 mini and the Dallas95 convention. I am currently
president of the Music City Club.

Over the years, this argument has been beaten to death. My philosophy was to 
get
members at the local level and use that membership to extol the virtues
of CORSA. We did this by having reports at the August meetings as to
the convention that was just completed.

We have members that have never been to a national and probably never
will. The Communique is a excellent magazine, but to a lot of people,
not worth the price.

With the declining membership, to suddenly jump in and decide that all
local members must be national members will prove to be counter-productive.
Local members are the major source of national members. To turn some
person away saying 'you can't join our little club' unless you join the
national. If you run them off at the local level, the national will never
see them.
