>From Bill Stringfellow-- The good thing about becoming a Life Member at any time is that it helps the NSS now and later. Most people don't know this but Life Member dues are not spent as soon as they come in. The money gets put into the Life Membership Fund managed by the National Speleological Foundation. Each year the Life Membership Fund returns to the NSS the full cost of Regular Member dues for each Life Member. Any income earned in excess of what is needed for Regular Dues for all Life Members is available for the NSS to use for other purposes.
So paying your Life Dues at any time helps the NSS now in two ways now and then on an ongoing basis after you have gone off to Valhalla. I encourage everyone to become a life member as soon as they can. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
