Membership Fees • We have over 225 individuals on our email list however only 60 paid 2011 annual dues • Time invested in driving membership takes away time to research, discuss and delegate on issues • Our primary goal is to ensure the JCRA community is informed, has an opportunity to raise concerns and where appropriate we can speak on behalf of the residents

  26. Motion: “To test for one year free membership to residents within our geographical boundaries with strong encouragement to make a donation to support communication and basic operating expenses.” Goal: To expand the number of residents we can inform and get greater levels of involvement

  30. Your support: Please encourage your neighbours to send us an email with their name and address directing us to put them on our membership list. Donations are needed to continue to cover basic operating expenses. A box is at the back awaiting your contribution. Attend a board meeting or send us your views at membership@joshuacreek.org
