If we could decide what benefits will accrue to sustaining memberships, 
we could add that to the page.

(For new Board members, a few years ago we passed a measure allowing us 
to set up sustaining memberships which could be purchased at a moderate 
amount like $50 per year.  But we've never implemented them because no 
one can figure out anything noteworthy to offer such regular donors, 
other than perhaps their name on a web page.)
