If a local chapter doesn’t have one of these funds, it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to consider creating one.  Especially the ones who have the foresight to require 100% CORSA membership.  For those chapters that do not, shame on you.

And some organizations have other approaches - retiree rates, or 
honorary memberships, or whatever.
The price of Corsa seems pretty  reasonable, and I'm feeling guilty for 
not having signed up yet.
Of course, it would be nice to actually have a real long term job...
with luck, life keeps happening!
