I got one of those letters too. I got the knife already when I went to a regular life member. I would get the fabulous desk clock worth hundreds given to me free with my upgrade to Endowment member. Decision decisions.

Really as for as a personal benefit, I don't see it. The upgrade for $275 sounds like a deal over $1000. Otherwise I can't see doing it, for any other reason. Besides our 2nd Amendment rights. SO I guess I will probably save my pennies and go ahead and do it before the deadline in Dec. If I don't change my mind.
