[Board] Fw: Membership Dues

[Christopher D Clement]

We should rethink this. Given the special nature of the circumstance,  
I feel compelled to help as Scott is sacrificing so much for our  
Country. Can we create a mechanism to freeze their membership at a  
reduced amount?
I will put $100.00 towards such a cause.
