Things Never Change

Posted date : Nov 4, 2017

Gentlemen: It’s really a shame that fuel economy means so little to automobile manufacturers, when so many people are conscious of how much their own cars are giving in mpg. I personally think they should spend a little more time on economy instead of on 0-60 speeds, top speeds, power that is useless, and bulk […]

Demographics

Posted date : Nov 4, 2017

Dear Bird Talk, Reading the winter issue of CSA News, I noted the various efforts on recruiting new members. After showing the issue to friends, most of them mentioned the many pictures of loving couples (front and back covers, inside pages, all the advertisements), arms around each other in affectionate poses. Wonderful if you are […]

Email Machine

Posted date : Nov 4, 2017

Dear Bird Talk, Last winter while in Panama City Beach, I purchased an e-mail machine. This machine is for sending and receiving e-mails only. I found I could keep in touch with my family and friends anywhere in the world, where there was a telephone/110 volt plug-in. The machine is called a VTech (1-888-468-8324) in […]

USD Credit Card

Posted date : Nov 4, 2017

Dear Bird Talk, I have read with interest your previous exchanges on the difficulty of obtaining a U.S. $ bank credit card. Last summer, the solution seemed to be to get a U.S. tax ID number. That option won’t work anymore, as the IRS will not issue one unless you will be filing a U.S. […]

Dear Bird Talk, I have been asked by several senior friends as an original CSA member to write to you of our concern regarding what is happening to our savings in this period of economic downturn, in particular as it applies to our RRIFs and the amounts we must withdraw. Seniors, those of us fortunately […]

Entrance Fee at Extravaganza

Posted date : Nov 4, 2017

Dear Bird Talk, We think there should be a charge for non-members at the Extravaganzas. We went to the one in Lakeland. There were so many people we could not enjoy ourselves. One or two dollars would help all the good work you try to do. We know sponsors pay for some of the cost […]

AGM

Posted date : Nov 4, 2017

Committee chair, I have been a snowbird member since its inception and believe it to be a great organization for the snowbird population. I would however like to make a suggestion that I’m sure has been made before, that is to charge a nominal fee to non members to access the annual meeting and entertainment […]

Sign Your Cheques

Posted date : Nov 4, 2017

Dear Bird Talk, The mail is in so I am now reading everything, cover to cover, with great interest in the CSANews Fall Issue 56. Donna Wilson’s tip and story on the top of page 9 really did catch my eye regarding the blank cheque being cashed with no signature on it. Believe it or […]

Travel Destinations

Posted date : Nov 4, 2017

Dear Bird Talk, Hello, I’m a widower and the kids are all gone and I’m tired of winter. I’m tempted to just load the dog in the truck and go, but then i think about buying a trailer here or…and I’m not sure where to head for, maybe the Texas coast or Arizona. Where do […]
