<VV> Corsa Dues Increase

[George Jones]

Couldn't agree more. At the 1994 convention at Williamsburg, we had an
incident on the rally that sent two of our membership to the hospital and
destroyed his beautiful mid engine Corvair. If either party were litigious,
it could have been a very expensive event without the CORSA insurance. The
CORSA member was NOT AT FAULT in any way, but if there was a lawsuit, the
only people who win are the lawyers.

We can not afford to do without the CORSA insurance policy.
