Paul E. Carlson, Director NE

In November 2007, the ISRPA Board of Directors undertook a review of the dues structure of the association and established enhanced memberships. These new memberships are called Bronze, Silver, and Gold Star memberships. At that time, the board also decided that each subsequent new Life Membership, regardless of level, would receive an engraved plaque suitable for display. Since that time, more than 25 plaques have been made and shipped for new life or upgraded memberships.

Bronze, Silver, and Gold Star life members have their membership level along with one, two, or three stars respectively engraved on their plaque. The membership application can be found in each issue of the Shooting Sports News or on the ISRPA web site. In addition, existing life members who may want a plaque can also purchase one for $40.

On behalf of the ISRPA Board of Directors and the membership, I would like to thank Richard Johnson, who's Life Member Plaque is pictured below, of HSA, Inc. in Mishawaka, (www.hsarolltops.com) for making and shipping plaques to our members.

So if you have been thinking about a Life Membership in ISRPA, a membership upgrade, or you would like a plaque for an existing Life Membership you will be pleased with the fine plaque you will receive to proudly display in your home, place of business, or your den or gun room. When you order your plaque for an existing Life Membership, please include the Month and Year you became a life member of ISRPA. Otherwise the month and year of the order will appear on the plaque.
