<VV> <CORSA Chapters> Membership question -- 100% vs Not

[Test User]

using harry's figures of 220k and 4600 members = 47.82 per member. using his
projected costs of 220k in 2013 and assuming the same rate of member loss
then that measns there would be 3900 members in 2013 and the cost to each
member would be 56.41.
iv'e been paying dues to corsa for over 30 years and if some get a "free"
ride on account of it my only comment is SO. i'd rather have it that way
than see local clubs lose members because of the 100% rule-mike mann
