You're right, Scott, it's an incentive for new Individual & Family members. Maybe the "fine print" at the end of my post was a bit too fine... "Sorry, no discount on renewals or NCM Lifetime Memberships.". :shrug01:

... but don't let THAT hold you back!

Thanks!

Did you see or have time to respond to my post to this thread on the 1st page?
I can't access the 1st page to see for myself, I can only access this pg.

The Family membership cards would be issued in your name and the name of your wife, but you might want to verify that they can do the cards the way you want them printed when you call. I'd suggest you do the Family membership... include the kids! And, besides, your renewal on the Family membership would be only half that of two Individual memberships.

Thanks for your question, Ray!

Thaks for your quick reply:thumbsup:

Lifetime #49 - January 1992 (I joined as a Founding Member in January, 1990 - though NCM doesn't seem to wanna count that time for my membership years...)

I was a family member for four years until they pissed me off at the ZFest last year.

They are all about money and do not REALLY care about the people that are supporting them.:mad:

C'mon, let us know how you REALLY feel! :hehehe:

(When you are at the UCP Saturday come over to the 54 year display - 1997 will be me - and I'll be happy to chat witcha more about that subject.)

I think it's great that you were able to offer your support for those four years and I'm sorry to hear that you encountered a bump in the road during that event. As the saying goes, "You can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time."

I'm open to discussing your particular issue if you'd like, but it would be best to take that off-line - feel free to PM me. If I can help in any way, I will.

As to what the NCM is "all about", I'd have to respectfully disagree. Since inception, the NCM is dedicated to educating the public through the preservation of the Corvette’s past, present and future heritage. As a a non-profit, “member-driven” foundation, they don't receive boat loads of corporate support, and need to rely on the enthusiasm and generosity of the members to carry on the mission and grow to serve future generations. Fundraising is key to that effort.

On a broader perspective, I'd like to encourage everyone that has had the opportunity to attend an NCM event to take a few minutes and fill out the Event Survey (http://www.corvettemuseum.com/survey/index.shtml) - Your constructive feedback is important to the staff in planning for and improving future events!

:wavey: We are now LIFETIME MEMBERS of the NCM:thumbsup: Although i'm not sure what # we are.?
Spent some time talking to the good people who were representing the NCM at the UCP, and we decided to take the plunge.:dancer01:

Not to mention, I wasn't aware a person could make payments on their Life Time membership.
Also, those who've been paying membership dues annually for individual or family memberships, could apply the monies they've spent in the past (on membership dues) towards the Lifetime membership fee.? Atleast that's what I was told yesterday at the UCP.

OUTSTANDING! :thumbsup: Well done, Ray! :thumbsup:

And, yes, the folks at the NCM are willing and open to working out a plan on a Lifetime Membership that takes prior membership into consideration and meets the individual's budget. Anyone interested exploring Lifetime Membership should contact Stephanie Morrill by phone at 800-53-VETTE or via email at stephanie@corvettemuseum.com
