[Lnc-business] student memberships for $10?

[Wes Benedict]

We could leave one "fill in the blank" benefit for locals to add.

For example, "Bring membership card or paid ap for free hurricane at 
your first Orleans Parish event."
  Or "Bring card for free lunch with famous professor Walter Block."
Or "Bring card for free professional ten minute neck massage."
