(Hi Chris!)
When we created a 3-year (or was it 2-year) membership in the LAMG, I was
against it for that reason. But the concession was that the BoD vote
included that this money would be in a separate account for the future. Of
course that account never happened and the money was spent just like Chris
warns against.
The LAMG did do a family membership. Families got just one copy of our
magazine. They got 2 extra raffle tickets too. They'd have split the BBS
time but I think we gave unlimited time.
