New page

Since April 2012, NASPA has offered a '''Life Membership''' program for
our members who wish to show their lifetime support of competitive
SCRABBLE play.

== What it costs ==

Life membership costs US$20 per year or part thereof up to age 80,
with a minimum of $20. For example, if you are 50 years old, you
have 30 years left before you turn 80, so your life membership will
cost $600. If you are 90 years old, your life membership costs just
$20.

== What you get ==

Life members may apply to change the first two digits of their NASPA
ID from the usual AA (or CM for committee members) to LM (for Life
Member). We will be offering other benefits to life members, and
welcome suggestions from life members.

== How to sign up ==

You can currently sign up as a new life member through our regular
[{{SERVER}}/cgi-bin/join.pl membership tool]. Current members who
wish to become life members will be able to do so soon using the
[{{SERVER}}/cgi-bin/renew.pl renewal tool] but are welcome to pay
the appropriate amount through [{{SERVER}}/cgi-bin/account.pl account services]
and we will be happy to process your membership within 24 hours.

Because of the age-based pricing plan, we require proof of your date of
birth. When you select life membership, you will be reminded that
you will need to send us a photo or copy of a driver's license or
birth certificate to verify your date of birth.

== Can I be grandfathered? ==

If you were a paid member in good standing as of April 1, 2012,
and were already 80 years of age or older, we will be extend your
membership to a life membership when we receive your proof of age.
