[SCA-AE] Give Us Life (Memberships)! {was Re: Change in Corpora Proposed

[david black]

hello all
  i think  a life  membership  is  a great idea......
  I also believe  that if  we  are to  go in this direction we need to  really do some real dollar  calutation on the amount of the membership yes  we all would  like a bargain...  but we also need to make  sure that we don't  short change  the society   that we all love....picking  a dollar amount  out of  the air  sounds  great   but  we really need  to  make sure that  the $ amount  is  one  sufficient  to sustain  the group  and  2 research in  to  how  to handle  the money in the form  of investments  to  achieve  the ultimate goal   the  well being  of  the society...  needs to be looked at.....like i said I'm all for it  but  let  see to it we do it right  for all now  and those yet to come.......bovi
