<VV> CORSA National Membership

[Eric Elliott]

I agree with Hank's comment here: I think all members of an official  
CORSA chapter should be required to be CORSA members. As previously  
stated, a lot of chapters wouldn't exist without the help from CORSA,  
the insurance example is a good one. If you decided to start your own  
local Corvair club, would you also want to buy insurance to protect you?

The other two national car clubs I am in, the Porsche Club of America  
and the BMW Car Club of America, both require national membership. One  
lets the local chapters collect their own dues (PCA) and the other  
bundles it with the national dues (BMWCCA).

I think the PCA model would work best for CORSA.
