<VV> manditory membership

[The Bristows]

I do not want to let this go silent.      Corsa supports local chapters who have events, shows, assist with technical advice and meetings.  It also supports a web site that any one can see the online classifieds, other various things and publishes a fine magazine.  We now have a declining membership so we raise dues instead of reducing cost and requiring Chapters to have 100% membership.  What amuses me is that we have leadership that is spineless in making it manditory for 100 % membership in Corsa.  If current club members that belong to a local chapter and not Corsa can't figure out the benifits of Corsa then they need to sell their Corvair and move on or find someone else to support their cheap A....!   They usally milk members for technical help and parts then sell the car anyway.  Not a real enthusiast in my book.  Whats the loss? The problem reminds me of our wonderful Congress.  Lets give free social security and health care to all the illegal imigrants so we can support them with our tax dollars.  So our treasury has a massive deficit.  Quick solution, just raise the taxes on the productive folks in society.  After all we may offend them.  I don't like my dues going up to support free loaders.  This is the only major national car club that is run like this.  What a joke! I think the BOD needs to reconsider this before I reconsider where I send my money.  A very offended past Corsa Prez.  Former TCC Prez,  Corvair and Corsa enthusiast.  Allen
