Let me suggest that a lifetime membership should also be seen by the 
members as a prestige enhancement. It might include a snazzy "Life 
Member" pin and/or embroidered patch that they would wear with 
considerable pride, in both the club and themselves. Nothin' wrong with a 
little mild elitism if the club will benefit. I fully agree with a price 
of 10X annual dues.
