    SCNY-ED Group 2012 Membership Reminder

    Give Your Support Today!

    In 2011 the goal set by the members of the SCNY-ED Group was to become a formalized organization with a minimal membership structure that could support future projects. That goal was achieved. We continue to focus on the publication of our data demonstrating the significant impact of non-profits in our community and are still accepting donations toward the final prep and printing of the document. This is also the time to begin looking forward toward setting and attaining new meaningful goals for the group and getting our committee structure strong and working on those goals.

    To do that your support as a member is required. If you joined as a paid member in 2011 at the $25.00 rate you can renew your membership at that same $25.00 rate until February 29, 2012 in appreciation of your commitment and support.
    I look forward to seeing current members and new members at our meetings in 2012.

    Deb Fitzgerald, Steering Committee Chairperson
