Chapter Benefits
Autism Ontario - Thunder Bay & District Chapter
Qualification for Chapter Benefits
In order to qualify for member benefits you must :
1) Have
attended at least one meeting from September 2009 - June 2010
2)
Have a minimum of 6 volunteer hours from September 2009 - June 2010
Volunteer hours can be easily aquired by participating in fundraising events, awareness events, or join the Chapter Leadership Council.
Member benefits require commitment and participation because they require a substantial amount of effort to organize and fund. Without the continued support of our members we will no longer be able to offer these opportunities. It is important for members to attend meetings, even if only once a year, so that your voice may be represented and considered in planning for Chapter events and programs. If you are unable to volunteer your time directly you may have a friend or family member volunteer on your behalf in order to qualify.
