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

[Mel Francis]

What do you think the worst unintended consequences would be, JR?

This car club can't set up it's bylaws to accommodate the neediest of
Corvair owners, while neglecting the needs of it's own survival.

If someone wants to benefit from participating in the activities of CORSA,
they need to step up, join and pay their dues.
