Im sorry you all know me by now I have to put my 2 cents in. I have to laugh at the email that was sent out
My husband is 30 and I am 26. We are young...

I would like to say if you expect/want "younger" groups of people to join the Corvair groups then people need to be more open to what they want to bring to the table. ( We have 5 Cars!)
This all goes back to Portland last year. And the electric fan controversy. (thats what we call it in our house) Here is a young man who knows his SH%# but yet all these people continually say " AHH well that wont work" or " do you have the rating for this the ratings for that?" " Test test test" MY PERSONALL OPINION!!! WHO THE F CARES!!! IT WORKS WATCH US DRIVE AWAY, WITH TIRES SCREAMING!!! YA you all want test after test to be done, left beat the damn kid to death, and tell him there is no way MODERN technologie is right. No one can understand it works. O WELL your loss.
This is what I have to say enjoy doing your Testing. Have a blast. All that Tom and I need to know is that we can get in our car and drive where ever it is we want to go and have absolutely NO problems. As I see it until people start getting wiser and stop thinking like engineers then you will be stuck with what you got. "Think out of the box"

We are seeling ALL of our Corvair stuff, parts, motors and even the car. 
That's my vent.

Sincerly

Well, someone beat me to it.  Here is an advance copy of My Directors Turn At 
The Wheel for September:
“We have arrived”!! That is a direct quote from Harry Jensen after he was 
informed that CORSA officially has its own listing on My Space.com.  During the 
annual Board meeting this year we touched on what can we do to attract and 
maintain the younger generation in CORSA.  We decided to form a committee of the 
younger generation and have them report to the Board on annual basis.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 
The age group we are targeting is from 15 – 24 years old.  To date we have 7 
people who have signed up to help out.  The Chairman of the group is Leslie 
Every.  Leslie quickly enlisted the help of Kim Jensen, Kevin Foreman, Rachel 
Grimes, and Taylor Allen. 

The group has not come up with a committee name, but they are working on it.  
The first thing Leslie did when she got home form the convention was to put 
CORSA on My Space.  Since then she has been surfing through the site and 
inviting anyone on the list to join as a friend.  She has found over 24 people 
and so far half have responded to her favorably as to what she has put out 
there.  There have been some good conversations going back and forth.  The most 
amazing thing Leslie found is the lack of knowledge by these people that CORSA 
exists.  Some had heard of CORSA, but had no idea what it was or how to join.

The committee’s purpose is to see what we as a Board can do for them.  They will 
be coming up with ideas as to what they would like to do during conventions and 
regional events.  I know one idea they would like to do is for us to organize a 
night out at a club that will allow them to go and not have to worry about being 
underage and not allowed in.

If anyone knows of a 15 – 24 year old who would like to see more activities for 
this generation please feel free to email Leslie at outrunning13 at hotmail.com, or 
call her 386-547-7353.  Any and all ideas are welcome.  For those of you who
