SAR ALBERTA MEMBERSHIP
SAR Alberta has worked hard in the last year to obtain insurance coverage for its regular membership. SAR Alberta has also once again secured training grant money for teams and training courses.

Now it is time that you the membership communicated back to us.

Sent out recently was a request for statistics from the regular membership. So far we have received back only 9 replies. Thank you to those organizations for this information.

It is very important that we have these stats from our organizations to show the number of volunteers we have, number of incidents we respond to etc.

Without these numbers we lose leverage when trying to obtain funding for items such as insurance or training courses for you the membership.

Please get your statistics to Rodney Dietrich at accountinggod at shaw.ca before Jan 23, 2010.

Also for near future notices SAR Alberta will also be asking from its membership information on their budgets with stats on a more regular basis. 

Thank you

Mary-Ann Warren    Secretary    SAR Alberta
