<VV> Corsa existence

[Bruce]

I was the (local chapter) administrator  for a large fraternal organization. In the area where I live there was another large fraternal organization chapter. We were both similar in many ways. , membership size, location(downtown),financially stable. We both received the same  large inheritance. We both bought land in the suburbs and rebuilt better facilities. Ours, larger but conservative. Theirs, large and grand. So far so good for both. They decide to make their membership more "exclusive" and therefore raised the dues substantially. We kept ours the same and welcomed members from any source. Their membership gradually dwindled ,plagued by financial troubles, until they sold out their faculties to a Church. Ours is prospering including increased membership.
  The point of this story and it's relevance to Corsa is very a very simple truth. The key to success is not increased membership dues. the key to success is increased participation , hence ,  increased revenue to the organization.
    Now these are my personal observations. Hopefully someone wiser than I can apply this wisdom to helping Corsa.
    By the way. If anyone wants to criticize this submission for spelling, phrasing, content or accuracy, as seems to have been the "sport", I will never participate in this discussion again!
