[ADXA] ARRL Life Membership

[Dennis Schaefer]

Joel, I’ve got you beat by a couple of years.    When I was 17 or 18 years old, my mother asked me if I’d like an ARRL Handbook for my birthday.  I had a fairly recent one, so I told her I’d rather have the first installment payment on my ARRL Life membership.  I think it was $14 or so, paid quarterly for two years.  Almost 60 years later, I can see that was a good move!

If you don't expect to live another 25 years then you won't realize a "benefit", so to speak, other than an offset of any future dues increase however on the other hand if you don't expect to make it another 25 years you can consider it a could contribution to "the cause" (but its not tax deductible!).
