<VV> Forced CORSA membership

[Corvkid50 at aol.com]

I totally agree with you Lon. But is Corsa willing to go that way  and find 
out in the end that membership is even lower than it is now? It's not  right 
but it's the way it is. I firmly believe the key is to get non members  wanting 
to join Corsa not force feeding them into it. That would be a failure in  my 
eyes. I'm trying to make up a list of reason to join Corsa for the clubs and  
so far have received 1 email about it.

The  truth is - Mandatory membership in National Corsa for local clubs 
SHOULD  be a Corsa requirement. But because we have a long standing 
"tradition" of  not doing so means that it is unlikely to ever happen. 
It's why I would  not push for it - You have to pick your battles.

Is it unreasonable to  tell local clubs that if they do NOT have 100% 
National membership that  they will have to pay a hefty surcharge for the 
insurance coverage? What  Corsa charges now is chicken feed compared to 
what it would really cost  that club to have insurance.

I know what will be said - "Well then, our  club will drop out of 
Corsa.....ad nauseum...). Really? So you mean paying  a thousand (or 
more) dollars a year for your own local club coverage  (that's assuming 
you can even get it) is preferable? Then your club won't  bother with 
insurance? How many clubs will get officers to serve when they  find out 
that THEY could be personally liable if some uninsured event  happens?

We talk a lot about Corsa just not providing a band for the  buck. But 
the truth is, that's really not right. If for no other reason  than the 
insurance.

Here's the real question - Why is this  suggestion unfair?   I and Corsa 
are waiting.
