<VV> Bob's (typically different) viewpoint on 100%

[AeroNed at aol.com]

Bob,
 
Have you been to Kansas? There's literally hundred of miles between  
chapters. It is 500 miles from Wichita to Denver. According to your plan,  the 
person living 250 miles away from the nearest local chapter must pay dues to  
that chapter. Is this an argument for or against the 100% CORSA  requirement?

I knew  that it would take only a couple of minutes for the "suppose you 
live far  away from a chapter" argument to arise.

That argument does not impress  me in the slightest.  If you, the local 
club member, must join CORSA,  then it is only fair that you, the CORSA 
member, must join a local  club.  Which of those clubs is up to you.

First off, where,  exactly, is a local club situated?  It is the club's 
mailing address  as listed with CORSA?  Is it where the club holds 
meetings?  Is  it where the club holds shows-tech  
sessions-tours-dinners-whatnot?

Or is it the collective geography  of its membership?

If you join a local club, even one that appears to  be not near you, you 
will at the very least begin to receive that club's  communications, be 
they digital or printed or both.  You will begin  to interact with other 
members of that club -- some of which likely live  much closer to you 
that you think.  As the geographic distribution of  the local clubs' 
membership evolves over time, so will the "home base" of  those clubs.

There simply is no valid reason to not require all CORSA  members to join 
a chapter IF we are going to require all chapter members  to join CORSA.

Are you 100% advocates telling me that we must rend our  local clubs 
apart by imposing a you-must-join-CORSA edict, without CORSA  
reciprocating and telling CORSA members to join a local?  There's a  word 
for that, and the VV rules prevent me from using it, but it implies  
bovine  waste.

--Bob
