MEMBERSHIP APPEAL
We are a non-profit charitable society of Cortes Island residents 50 and over. We accept new members any time. Soon, we will be switching over to our membership list for 2022–2023, so I’m sending you this note to remind you to renew your membership if you want to continue getting your newsletter by email and snail-mail and taking part in our activities (rather reduced this past year, hopefully better in the coming year!). The renewal form is included in this newsletter (in attachment). Our membership remains at a reasonable $10 per person! If your email and other information are the same you don’t need to fill out the form, just drop off your dues (make your cheque payable to CISS) at this address:
CISS, Box 27, Mansons Landing BC V0P 1K0
We would really like to have your continued support.
Hope to hear from you soon.
-- Peter Elliott, Secretary, CISS
