As an added FYI to what Scott said.  On
January 10th the Board had a conference call.  Within that call
several areas came up that had to do with the finances of CORSA.  During the
course of the call a motion came up to raise the membership dues.  The motion
was tabled until April 1st (no joke here) to allow those Board
members who are not in favor of the increase to air their opinions in the Communique
as to why there was no need for a dues increase.  The article has been written
and will more then likely appear in the March issue of the Communique. 

   

Now a Board member has raised the motion
again, not waiting until the time appointed, which I might mention was his
request.  Is this right legally?  I’m not sure. 

   

However, I do know this…a dues
increase will only by CORSA 1 year in help with the bottom line.  So it could
be in another year another dues increase would very likely happen. 

   

Three of your Eastern Board Members are
opposed to this increase.  There is way to much fat in the CORSA budget that
needs to be addressed before a dues increase is or should be warranted.  In
addition, there are several new ideas out there to generate additional revenue
for CORSA. 

   

Please feel free to contact me or any
Board member as Scott has suggested.  This dues increase is not a good idea!!!

  Hi Folks - 

  

  CORSA Directors and the Finance Committee are looking at a motion to raise
  the dues around $7.00 per year.  Let your directors know what you have
  to say on the topic.  

  

  Their email address is corsabod at corvair.org

  

  Ask them pertinenet question(s) - provide your input and be heard.

  

  Ask them for a copy of the specific motion to peruse the wording.

  

  Do they have any alternatives - What is the life expectancy of this proposed
  increase and when will the next increase be requested / how much.  Is
  the membership worth the dues, if not why?  If so Why? Should dues be
  capped or expenditures?  Should both or neither.  What are CORSA 's
  expenditures - you are the membership and if you are interested - ask the
  questions.  We as Board members work on behalf of the membership and
  support you the members. 

  

  The vote will most likely take place in the next two weeks.  Spread the
  word - Discuss at your local meetings if this fits the scheduling time frame.

  

  If you want to help direct CORSA's future  - elections are upcoming so
  get your statements ready and let me know if you are interested.  That's
  includes our international members.  You DO NOT have to reside in the
 US to become
  a Board Member.  Have we ever have a Board Member from abroad?
