<VV> CORSA Members on the Internet

[The Reinharts]

Gary, Great idea to poll our chapters. I will post to the chapters list and 
ask them to provide me with the percentage of members that have e-mail 
addresses. It will present a good starting point and will add information 
and credibility to my Plan for the future. Thanks

Jamie
