To the Powers That Be:


This is a damned good idea.   It's one of the best things I've heard 
to date which could actually cut down expenses without causing grief 
among the membership.   Jan-Feb, not a lot is happening... winter 
places a bind on events and those that do come off will be fully 
covered by the combined issue.   Jul Aug, same thing only for the 
opposite reasons, Nat Convention happening about that time and 
everybody else is staying inside by the AC or are vacationing at the 
beach or the lake or snowbirding someplace.  Nov Dec, same as Jan Feb.


This is a good plan.


And Kudos to Terry for stepping up.    Likewise, to the board for 
making a move.   Sometimes it seems that with almost any organization 
such as CORSA, that nobody could ever agree to even disagree on a 
plan to reduce costs without conflict.   It's good to see something 
get done.
