<VV> Membership question -- 100% vs Not.

[Eric S. Eberhard]

Yeah -- without being certain of substantial coverage, it is not 
worth the risk. And officers and board members and workers have 
special liability separate from the incident (generally negligence 
claims based on something being "wrong" with the event).

I also agree that allowing chapters to have members that don't belong 
to national is a self-inflicted wound.  I mean, if you have a 
Corvair, why wouldn't you belong?
