Re: [GSAS-board] Members who need to renew!

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

We've already got a classification of members in the database:

enum('Single','Family','Senior','Junior','Business','Speaker','Exchange','Life')

Fairly sure that we've been tagging speakers appropriately.

The current unexpiring types are Life and Exchange.  I can add Speaker to 
that list so they don't get auto-purged... just let me know if the board 
wishes to do this. :)
