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

[Bill Hubbell]

I think some of them are on this list (smile).

I would encourage all chapters to print it out and distribute it to their
membership - assuming, of course, that said chapters still believe there is
benefit to be associated with CORSA.  I really think that if there are any
chapters out there that feel they cannot justify having their members join
CORSA then they should re-think their position on being a CORSA chapter.  If
there is value received, then there should be value given; if not, then why
stay a Chartered Chapter?

You can print this as well.

Bill

Hi Bill,

Good post.  Now how do we go about getting that in front of the eyes of the 
non-CORSA members?
Later, JR
