updated procedure
'''Life Membership''' in The Augustan Society, Inc., is available only to current members in [[Good Standing]]. It is not permitted to join as a Life Member.
The procedure for handling a [[Petition]] for Life Membership is:
A Petition for Membership is required. Normally, these are completed by the petitioner and returned either on paper or electronically. [[Headquarters Staff]] may create a petition when they feel that is advantageous. These are usually not accompanied by payment.
Headquarters Staff will then notify the petitioner of the amount of Life Dues. This is done by multiplying the current annual dues by the petitioner's life expectancy according to the most recent US government Actuarial Life Table, such as [http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/STATS/table4c6.html this from the Social Security Administration]. Use whichever gender has the longer life expectancy — no bias based on gender is to be employed.
A Life Dues Account may be set up, provided that dues must be paid each year at the then-current rate, and by submitting an amount equal to or greater than even multiple of the the-current dues is addedand receiving a corresponding expiration date. When the balance in value of dues beyond the Life Dues Account current year is equal to or greater than the then-current ratelife membership, the member will be converted to Life Membership automatically. Should a member fail to make any year's deposit, or if there is a Any balance left, the amount on deposit will be converted to a credit. Such credits A refund of the balance may be used to reestablish issued after deducting a new Life Dues Account if desired$4 service fee.
Once all Life Member dues are paid, a new [[Membership Card]] and a [[Certificates|Certificateof Membership]] is issued over the signatures of the [[President]] and [[Secretary]].
Those who become All Life Members after 2014 will also receive a life subscription to the ''The 'Augustan Omnibus'''. Each contact from a Life Member should be recorded in the [[Roster]]. Annually, the last contact date for Life Members should be reviewed, and those without contact for three years or more should be sent a final notice by mail. Those who do not respond within 30 days will be removed from the active roster. Inactive Life Members who again contact Headquarters will be returned to active status without formal petition or fees. Replacement of missed issues of [[Augustan Omnibus|The Augustan Omnibus]]''will be at member rates, save that the most recent missed issue will be sent gratis.
Those who became Life Members before 2015 did not receive a life subscription to the Augustan Omnibus. They may purchase same for an amount equal to the current annual subscription rate multiplied by the Actuarial Life Table, as above.
