<VV> Fwd: Director`s Comments in Communique

[Jason Cesana]

And I would like to add that Bryan was contacted by myself and Tim to BEG
him to stay on board when he wanted to resign the first time around. Bryan's
dedication is often overlooked and underappreciated. Bryan would well be
within his rights to charge CORSA for the server space alone to host the web
sites. However like all of the volunteers of CORSA he has a passion to CORSA
that overlooks any monetary value.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this:

There are *two* people who are paid to work for the management company.
There are some other direct expenses - for example, CORSA pays most of the
Internet connection for the server ($850/year).  The CORSA budget is
published every year, BTW.

*Everything* else is done by volunteers.  I'm not paid *anything* for my
time.  Neither is anyone else on VV-help.  None of the Directors are paid.
None of the Committee Chairs are paid.  Nobody.  There's also no significant
revenue stream other than dues - and there have been several tries to get
advertising, among other things.

BTW, this isn't directed at Ray, but for my several detractors:

Just to be clear on my position, I will happily give up my position *this
very moment* to someone else who will do better.  Any takers?  I already
offered a resignation once this year, I meant it then, and I mean it now.  I
will make backup tapes *tonight* and FedEx them to whoever the BOD approves.
It's not too late.
