This year, the membership committee aims to increase the number of members who are under 50 or who are newcomers to the Townships. As the new membership year started April 1st, these goals are even more acute. You can help by spreading the word and encouraging your friends to join the Association. It’s personal contact that makes a difference.
Being a member of the Association is a good way to be part of the action, or keep informed about what’s going on. The Association can help keep you connected with the English-speaking community, and your membership helps keep the Association connected and effective.
