<VV> 100% membership

[Jason Cesana]

Folks to date NO ONE has given me what non members TAKE from CORSA as
freeloaders. As I explained the non members insurance is paid by the
chapter. No cost to CORSA. They get no Communique. No cost to CORSA. They
can't go to conventions. No cost to CORSA. VV costs CORSA nothing as Bryan
hosts it, and Denis moderates it, and both are VOLUNTEERS (two of MANY in
this organization).  Oh yea VV is open to ALL Corvair owners not just CORSA
members.

I think what most people are upset about is what these non members DON"T
give to CORSA (Dues) not what they take. 

By the way, the non 100% chapters were not billed for their chapter status
last year and was really late this year. Another reason CORSA is shorter on
funds this year. 

I still firmly believe that forcing people to join will hurt the chapters in
the short term and CORSA in the long term.

Another way to hurt our chances of gaining members is our attitude towards
them. Calling them names and chastising them is NOT the answer. Explaining
the benefits and showing them a FRIENDLY bunch of folks is a way better way
of approaching them.
