<VV> Communique improvement idea number 7

[Western Canada CORSA]

I haven't had much to say on this topic, mostly because I've said my peace
in the past.

However, I second this comment with a vengence!  There are lots of good tech
things going on in the Corvair communtiy, and it's easy to find (<VV>,
Corvaircenter, etc), and I'll bet the response to "would you write that up
for us" would be 80% positive.  One of the first things you get taught in
sales, that if you want the sale, you have to ASK for it.

The same goes for cool 'vairs.  Use the Chapter list, ask the the chapter
presidents if they know of any really fine Corvairs in their area.  Get some
pics and a write up.

To most people, the Communique IS CORSA, so they'd better feel like they're
getting their money's worth.  When I ask folks why they let their membership
lapse it's almost always a complaint about the CC.

Regards,
Joel

There are many, many interesting technical,  development, modification and 
restoration projects going on out in Corvairland.  Why aren't these being 
followed by CORSA and written about in the Communique?  Corvair projects get

started, worked on and completed without even a word being  said in the
Communique!! 
wouldn't it make the Communique more enticing and  fulfilling to the members

if some of these activities were  documented?  
Oh, sure CORSA is waiting for these members to take  the initiative and
write 
up these activities and accomplishments. But that just  doesn't seem to work

well. CORSA should take the initiative (get a volunteer, or  volunteers, to 
spearhead this activity). What seems to be missing is for  CORSA to ASK for
and 
SEEK volunteer help. 
CORSA has many many potential volunteers (retirees  and semi-retirees with 
time, ability and money!) who can keep up with these  projects and their 
progress, writing articles of interest and assisting in  developing articles
for the 
Communique. Why are these being missed? I can name  plenty of retired, 
knowledgeable, talented, interested, capable CORSA  members who can be asked
to 
volunteer their time. skills and writing  talents for CORSA (and I'm sure
that 
there are many more). Why haven't these  people been brought into the fold
and 
asked to help CORSA?  How about getting a volunteer  coordinator for this?
Again, 
who is minding the store? It seems like CORSA is  just sitting back waiting 
for something to happen instead of going out and  beating the bushes making 
things happen (i.e., writing tech articles for the  Communique).

Bob  Helt
