kinda - but i do it because i think it's for good things to put money toward (part of my gun rights donations committments)... i've been a golden eagle for 3yrs now, ..they spice it up by giving you prizes, ...i got a nice-looking buck knife w/ wall display, a pocket knife, and recently (on it's way i hope) a jacket..

I'm on my, crap, I can't remember how many years now, as a Golden Eagle. I think it is near twenty.
200 bucks a year for a hat, belt buckle and more mail, but I believe that anything we do is worth it.
Usually get a jacket for renewal.
But I am one of the wierd ones that the extra mailings don't bother me.
As Brother Dex as been....I've been right alongside him as a Golden Eagle for many years.
Please remember folks that your membership money - at whatever level - is greatly appreciated by the NRA,
BUT it can only be used for the good of the order - meaning not a dime can not and is not, being used in any lobbying effort or legislative initiative we have ongoing.
I would never ask for anyone to contribute to a cause that I haven't invested in it myself.....
Thanks to everyone for whatever they give to help support our heritage and freedoms.

Just an idea Joe, maybe some sort of meet and greet at the conventions for the board so the members can meet you folks.
I really like it when Wayne walks through and shakes hands. Shook his hand again this year right before the annual meeting. Great guy.

Brother....
That's all I did between meetings, taking telephone calls, answering emails and texts and helping Wayne achieve our stated goals for the event.
I try to make myself available as much as humanly possible here and every other event (SHOT, NRA, 3 Gun Events, while advocating positions and legislation. etc...) I participate at...
I will certainly suggest a formalized "Meet and Greet" but to be honest, the scheduling would be difficult at best.
