Indeed, you raise a very real danger in putting the CC online. Something
to seriously consider.

On the subject of CORSA membership benefits, I think that a list of them
should be posted ON THE MEMBERSHIP APP as a matter of course. It would
be a good way of promoting club membership AND reminding the current
members of all those "intangibles."
