always sound then and still is today. Great idea, make any dues increase
worthwhile.

Subject: <VV> dues increase

I was Corsa President when the dues were raised from $27 to $35. We lost
some members but bottom line gained some revenues.Personally, if there has
to be  a dues increase, make it to $50 now. Corsa will likely lose the same
members that would be lost by going to $45.     
    That said, Sarah mentioned fat in the Corsa budget. I believe that the
three largest expenditures are 1-insurance, 2-management, and
3-printing/mailing the Communique.Two of these three are pretty well fixed.
Management looks like a large amount on paper but I doubt that a less
expensive team can be found that can actually handle the job.So, again
bottom line ,the answer is raise revenues. A $12 per year, $1 per month,
 increase is not much. 
    The budget for the upcoming year and the last years financial
statement used to  appear in the Communique to give the membership an idea
of our financial picture I think that practice may have been stopped because
no one read it and it took up lots of room.
