Lifetime memberships are preferred to be paid in lump sum, but may be paid on request by installments in $50 increments due quarterly until paid in full.

Revenue generated by memberships will be re-invested in the LWF general fund maintained by the LWF Treasurer.

Individual laminated membership cards will be issued in January of subsequent years. Membership fees are due not later than 31 December. Late fee of an additional $5 is due for payments received after the end of December.

The LWF Secretary will maintain the membership records. Membership cards will be two sided. The front will have the Lest We Forget of Southwest Michigan logo and name. The reverse side will have the member's name, status (One-year, Three-year, or Lifetime), number, and state the LWF goal of "Brightening the Future by Illuminating the Past."

Member expectations are to: support the nation, respect the flag, and educate the public. Fees for one-year, three-year, and lifetime memberships are subject to increases in the future at the determination of the LWF Board.
