<VV> CORSA Hurricane Relief Fund Proposal

[Bill Hubbell]

I would like to propose the formation of a CORSA Hurricane Relief 
Fund/Effort to help the members of CORSA who have been been hit HARD by the 
many hurricanes this year.  Some have HUGE losses, including Ed Lindsey, who 
lost his home and all his cars, including all his Corvairs, due to massive 
flooding.  It is my hope to be able to get a fund started through CPF that 
will administer the aid and allow charitable donations, but even if that 
falls through, we owe it to our fellow Corvair owners to help out in this 
crises.  To get the ball rolling, I will be making the following proposals:

1) A special issue of the Communique to be printed (probably in November) 
dealing with the effects of the hurricane (all of them) damage to our 
members.  We will try to get photos and stories from those involved.  I will 
ask Mike McGowan to coordinate this project.  I want to use this issue to 
dramatize the plight of the stricken to boster support for them, but if any 
way can also be found to turn a profit on these issues, it is to be donated 
to the relief fund.

2) I am asking all CORSA clubs running car shows for the next year to 
consider setting aside a portion of any profits toward the relief fund. 
Barring that, at least consider taking up donations at the shows for the 
fund.

3) I will ask Kent Sullivan to look into the possibility of setting up a 
disaster relief fund through CPF to admisister aid to members in this 
disaster, and possibly to be used for future relief efforts.

I welcome any an all ideas the members may have concerning these ideas and 
any others which may spring to mind.  We are a large national club and we 
should take care of our members (and their Corvairs!) at a time like this.
