<VV> Membership Directory

[Greg Hanlin]

I think Bill has pretty much captured exactly what I was thinking when I 
suggested a Corsa (or CORSA) app on Friday.   We must take this club to the 
members we hope to attract.  Thanks for putting it so succinctly.

Ok, so there are a bunch of guys who don't have smart phones or tablets.  I 
get it, but guess what - you are in the minority, as recent studies show 
that approximately 56 percent of the adult US population and as much as 61 
percent of all people who own a cellphone now own smartphones. Further, 
among those in the 30 to 49 age category making $75,000 or more, 87 percent 
have a smartphone.

I realize that most of us in the Corvair Hobby are older than that age 
group, but if we really want to attract younger members to this hobby we 
should understand how they communicate and strive to bring our organization 
up to modern standards.

Heck, even Smitty has a tablet.

"everybody"?
I don't have a bloody smartphone.
Or a tablet. I'd probably have to root my wife's Nook to put a 3rd party
app on it, and that's not going to happen any time soon.
And we have GPS units, but they won't have the CORSA directory in them.

Yes, an app could be nice.
But if you have a tablet, you can probably use the CORSA website.
