When we set up that list a few years ago, the idea was to have at  
least one Chapter Officer on the list from every Chapter.  If you  
should be on that list, go to:

http://www.vv.corvair.org/mailman/options/chapters

or send a message to chapters-help at corvair.org with your club  
affiliation and position.

I suggest that event announcements should also go to the Chapters  
list, in addition to VV.

Very true, but I'd contend that a post to one of the above forums is  
more likely to generate a response than a line in your column, if for  
no other reason than the tool to reply immediately is already at hand.

I'll also point out that you listed only *three* of the current  
Directors.  I see some traffic from one or two others here (but  
nobody else on the Chapters list), but I have to wonder why none of  
the others post.  I would expect to see regular communication  
somewhere, or at least hear about it.  At one point we saw regular  
posts from several of the Directors, but that's no longer the case.
