<VV> Membership Both Ways

AH HA... you hit the nail on the head so to speak.  CORSA must have a data base.  The information can be obtained by writing a simple report to generate the names of the individuals who are not assigned to a club.  The report can ask for such things as city and state.  All this is in the data base.  Sim ple really..

I can't image this day in age that the CORSA membership is not in a computerized format.

OK...  So Mike, Harry, who....  someone at CORSA Bod or CORSA offices sits down and sorts through 4,000 names of CORSA members to determine who is not a member of any local and there apparently have been little or no reports from the locals in about three years (per Sarah's email).  Once that monumental task which is based on faulty information is accomplished, then a letter goes out saying something to the effect - the closest local to you is #XXX chapter and you need to send them a check for $XX to pay local dues or be dropped from CORSA.  This does not sound either doable or smart.  I thought the idea was to increase membership - not drive folks away.

Gimme a break...  and not the car kind of brake. <GRIN>

No offense taken - nor intended.

No offense, but nowhere here did I see Mr. Marlow say that members of cluibs had to physically attend the meetings.

I do agree. CORSA needs to bear some of the responsibility here with the falling numbers. I think it is a great idea for the Chapters, a benefit if you will, to find members of CORSA in their area who do not belong to a Chapter. I reason to believe local clubs may benefit from several new members.

Since there are CORSA members who live 100s (maybe even 1,000s) of miles
away from any local chapter and would likely never have the opportunity or
pleasure of attending a local meeting, it seems to me to be an unreasonable
requirement. What chapter would you suggest for David Neale?
