<VV> CORSA Members on the Internet

[Ken Wildman]

Just my point of view.

To me the Communique is the physical symbol of my connection to CORSA.  My cars are the physical reality of my connection to the Corvair.

My cars will always be the reality of my connection to Corvairs.  Without the magazine, or with a diminished magazine, my connection to CORSA diminishes.

I speak for no one but myself.  Others may share, or not, my perspective.

All, Gary asked the question, I will try and answer. What this survey means 
to me is: I will be able to stay in contact with you, the members of the 
Corvair family, no matter what happens in the future to the printed 
Communique. If you are looking for an ominous prediction, here it is, No 
matter what we do, in my honest opinion, the printed Communique will have to 
become a bi-monthly or quarterly issue within two years, to save CORSA money 
and keep the club solvent. I then want to use the website to fill in the 
gaps between the issues. That is why this survey is so important to me. In 
my opinion we could end up completely relying on the web within 10 years. As 
I said yesterday I will explain it all and outline my plan for the future in 
a document and present it to the board and you in the following weeks. You 
can then register your opinion and help us decide what you want for the 
future of CORSA. In the meantime know that the BoD is working on every angle 
to increase membership and income.  Thanks for your comments and concerns. I 
will keep you posted.
