[TheForge] Life Memberships

[Bob Willman]

	The ARRL American Radio Relay League also has life memberships.
I am a life member there and the NRA. Our blacksmith group have been
discussing a life membership status. As I recall when I signed up with
ARRL and NRA the life membership dues was about 20 times the annual dues.
I have suggested to our Northwest Ohio Blacksmiths group that if we
consider a life membership that we establish 2 classes. One that is
purchased by some fee and one that is awarded "Honarary Life Membership".
But then you have to establish guidelines to award a honary title. 
So far we have taken no action.

The AFC does have life memberships but thay are awards for meritorius
service, and thus are free. To my knowledge in the 22 years of the AFC there
have been only 4 or 5 life memberships awarded. 

I know the NRA offers life memberships for $750, whereas an annual
membership is $35. They do have a flex pay option that allows for quarterly
payment of $25 until the life membership cost is paid off.
