Six weeks later got membership form. Sent it in. Have heard nothing else. No LHSA newsletter. I don't have use of the money. I could have gotten it from a dealer for same price and had a free membership in LHSA. I know we're dealing with a non-profit organization and all that so I'm a little more tolerant. Still.... it would have been nice to know the options before ordering, like getting the camera now and not having to pay the membership fee for the first year.
