Instead  of CORSA demanding 100% membership, they need to look inward at 
themselves and  look at how they can improve their package. CORSA needs to 
elevate themselves  to a point where the Corvair owner sees CORSA as a 
tremendous benefit in  belonging to the organization instead of being told that you 
have to.

I feel that Corsa is certainly that important to me right now. A lot  of 
members (4500+) agree. And I still would feel that way, even if I was told I  
had to join - If the reasons that membership was required were explained to  
me. Now, I realize that not everyone feels that way. Corsa, for years has 
tried  to explain to the Corsa members who also belong to local chapters, 
that the  insurance costs that Corsa shared, were being paid for by the Corsa 
members in  the local clubs, but covered, equally, the non-Corsa member 
attendees. If  this was explained to the non-Corsa attendees, their local club 
members, perhaps  they would be encouraged to join Corsa and help spread the 
load. I suppose that  many will reply the way Hank suggested: "No, I'd rather 
not pay and join -  But thanks for the Free Beer, you Idiot!"   
 
Their language may vary - but that is the correct translation.
