Private Party?

Earlier this year, the CORSA Board of Directors re-affirmed a long-standing policy that limits convention participation to CORSA members (and family) only. The NECC had proposed an alternative that would have permitted non-members to register as guests, but the Board did not approve that idea.

Does this mean, if you are not a member, that you are not welcome? Not at all!

Unlike the sign in the photo that says "Keep Out," this convention will still say, "Come In!"

It has always been true that if you were not a CORSA member, you could join CORSA as part of the convention registration process, thereby gaining access not only to all convention events and activities but to a full year’s worth of CORSA membership benefits.

But this year, as a special incentive for new members, the CORSA Board and the Northeast Corvair Council have agreed to waive the basic registration fee for persons who join CORSA with their convention registration. That’s a savings of anywhere from $35 for an individual registering before June 29 to $50 for a family registering after June 29. That’s a real savings for new members!

At the request of CORSA, certain restrictions apply. For example, you can’t let your membership lapse in January and then re-join in July for the discount. This promotion is for new members and for former members who have been away for at least a year.

But this plan is a great way for all persons to attend the convention and discover the benefits of CORSA membership.
