<VV> What has CORSA done for us?

[Dave Thompson]

I for one am unemployed; laid off after 27 years with a major telephone
system manufacturer. Due to the fact that telephone systems are inherently
reliable, in this economy, people are not purchasing new ones or upgrading.
This filters down to the installation companies. The telephone field is dry
right now as for jobs. At 52 years, I'm too old to start over with a new
carrier. 

Living on unemployment has made a dramatic difference in my lifestyle.
However, I have chosen to spend what little "spare" money I have on what
will make my life enjoyable. To me, one of those things is my Corvair and
the "Corvair Crowd". As a member of Vintage Corsa of Southern California, I
feel that it is my duty to also support CORSA. After all, Vintage Corsa
would not be here if not for CORSA. I enjoy all the outings that we have
which would not happen if we had to come up with insurance. 

To me, one tank of gas is worth keeping CORSA alive.

Just my opinion

Great thinking, Hank.  Let's all of us stop paying CORSA  dues, stop 
paying for, I believe you said, "a magazine  subscription." 


Hey Guys,
I think everybody is missing Hank's point. I know that we've all had our  
differences with Hank.  But he is trying to make a point here that everyone

seems to be overlooking.
 
As I read it, Hank is saying that if CORSA required all chapter  members to 
belong to CORSA, that would increase the amount of money coming in  to 
CORSA and eliminate or reduce the dollar shortfall. He also says  that would
be 
only fair since the non-CORSA chapter members are getting the  CORSA 
benefits of insurance without being members. He is asking the BOD to  take
his 
proposal under consideration.
