Then that is a serious problem for your club. Are they upset about the 
times Corsa presidents got caught being  serial killers or when staff 
members went to prison for bilking thousands out of thier retirements? 
Or maybe it was all the board members who went to prison for being child 
molesters? There's been so much bad associated with Corsa I can 
certainly see thier point.

No it doesn't, which is why it is interesting to me that any of your 
local members would quit your club (which I assume to be a very good 
club that offers them a great deal)  if Corsa membership became mandatory.

I have been a member since 1973 and have seen an occasional bad board 
member. Thats maybe 3 or 4 out of several hundred?  Every board member 
is an individual human and we are not going to impress you all of the 
time. When you say, "plenty of the bad", I need some help here. Why not 
give all the examples?

I would suggest that any  local chapter member that says Corsa has 
nothing to offer them think of this one word - Insurance. But of course 
that's not a glamorous subject, so it must not be important. There's 
also the very intangiable issue of the hobby itself. What if there had 
never been a Corsa?   I'll leave that for my next post.
