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

[J R Read_HML]

Roughly half the chapters (maybe more?) saying goodbye to CORSA.

Don't get me wrong.  It is not something that I would want to see happen. 
But, that is why I cannot support the requirement.  If I thought that I had 
the answer to how to get the non-CORSA chapter members to join up, I'd have 
already said so.
