I will stay a member until they pry the membership card out of my cold dead
hand. I will pay for the Review if I am a life member or not, since Tedi likes
to read it.
But, gestures are important. Why not change life time membership to 50 years
and give the Review for free. That may only include a few members by that
time, and then we don't have to fuss over who wants to pay for anything. Or
what about saying if you are a member for 75 years, we will send someone to
your house to read the Review to you?
Is this not like two bald men fighting over a comb?

The on-line version will be free, but the paper Review must be paid for. (WHY?
How many "lifetime members" are there that would throw the club into poverty?)
I am on the computer a couple hours per day and I have to tell you, it hurts
my eyes. (I am legally blind without glasses, so I do not want my poor eyes to
get any worse!) I am a reader; I like to hold the Review and other books &
magazines in my hands. With the paper Review, I can re-distribute it to my
vet's which is what I do now. It's a puzzlement: I have a few more years to
decide what to do (or NOT to do) about the lifetime membership dilemma. Right
now, in the heat of the moment, I am leaning toward not staying a member of the
GSDCA, but who knows?

We need to offer the option that if you are a lifetime member, you can
refuse the Review, and avoid those costs. Is that available?

well according to message from Frank, and hearing from Zoe. Lifetime
members never got the review free, just membership to the club. So if they
wanted the review it has always been that they paid for it, now they get the on
line version free. However, someone I believe posted that they were a lifetime
member and never was asked to pay for the review, which I assume that person
was still getting. So I am confused, does lifetime membership include a hard
copy of the review or not or does it depend on who it is?

I will be a lifetime member of the GSDCA in a few short
years. I LOVE THE REVIEW magazine. I got the membership changes e-mail, which
states that lifetime members will only get the online Review free; the printed
magazine will be $45 a year. Who was the idiot who thought up THIS brilliant
idea? Just found a reason NOT to renew. What a reward for 40 year members. This
seems like a concerted effort to 1. get rid of older members or 2. get rid of
the printed Review. Sucks to be me or anyone else who has stuck through this
club through thick and thin.
