Thanks for the post Mr. Sarles. I have advocated a premium membership level also. Someone once suggested an Executive membership level. Sounds very good to me. I have always recognized LM as an act that cemented a member to the club at a very high level of dedication. I got to the point where I considered that step but then it became apparent that the benenfit to the club didn't make sense fund-wise. I still have high regard to anyone who still wants an LM #. Donations and purchase of Club merchandise is a valid contribution but I would rather step up to a premium type membership, renewable every year.

I'm going to talk it up some at the '09 convention but in the meantime I support the BOD's good-faith best efforts to serve all the membership. Sometimes, unlike them, I lose sight of the folks not on-line or the members who want to use their funds for MORE chips!
