[Lnc-business] sustaining versus association benefits lapse date example

[Wes Benedict]

In that first example, the Foundation Membership expired later than the 
Sustaining Membership.

But here's an example where the reverse is true. The Sustaining 
Membership expires later than the Foundation Membership.

Let's say Jane Doe joined the Libertarian Party on 1/1/2015 for $25.
On 7/1/2015, Jane Doe donated $25 for ballot access.

On 7/1/2016 her "Sustaining Membership" expires.
On 1/1/2016, her "Foundation Membership" expires.

Although it's probably more technically correct to say that on 1/1/2016, 
her "Regular Membership" expired. That's because the $25 contributed on 
7/1/2015 raised her level from "Foundation" to "Regular", but did not 
extend her association level expiration date.
