Among other benefits, annual membership of Connecting Country:
- Continues to be free of charge
- Demonstrates your support for our activities, and our aims of working towards an increasingly healthy natural environment within the Mount Alexander Region. The support of good membership numbers is critical when we apply for grants and other external support
- Provides insurance cover when you attend our events
- Allows you to vote at our Annual General Meeting – likely to be held in October 2017.
For people applying to become members for the first time, you can use the same form. However, your application will then need to be endorsed at the next monthly CC Committee of Management meeting before your membership is formalised.
If you would prefer a hard copy membership form instead, please contact us (info@connectingcountry.org.au) to request an emailed PDF or a posted form .
