$50 Membership (Ages 18-59)

Membership benefits include:
Member pricing on rentals
An open invitation to the Annual Meeting with voting rights
Member Christmas Banquet (a meal that we would normally sell for $28/plate+)
 
The increased $50 Membership was put in place at a time when we were having difficulty getting enough members to assist with Centre Operations; including working the bar, preparing and serving food, working the Canteen/Beer Gardens at Ball Tournaments, etc to the point that we were paying non-members to fill the vacancies. We would love to see our Members active and involved in the Centre like our parents/grandparents were when Friedensfeld began.
 
The $50 membership is key in helping us to pay the bare minimum costs and has become essential while rentals are down. At the AGM in 2018, when the motion was presented and passed, the intent was that Members would choose to work a shift or two in any area and earn their dues back. All positions pay $10/hr. We are also hoping to make it more appealing for Members to take a turn on the Board. This year, new board members will serve a 2-year term in lieu of the previous 3-year terms. While on the board the, membership dues of your entire family are earned.
 
When voted in as a "New Member" it takes 5 years to earn full membership discounts; 1st 10% off, 2nd 15% off, 3rd year 20% off.
