Membership

Becoming a member of the community league has many benefits, including discounts on hall rental, educational programs and city-wide recreation facilities (more membership benefits). The stronger our membership base is, the more we get involved, the more volunteers we can recruit, the more great programs and activities we can host. For specific questions about membership email our membership director.

Get involved

The McKernan Community is a volunteer-run organization. We welcome everyone who has a contribution to make. Here are some of the ways you could get involved:

• help out at one of our upcoming events (like these)!

• bring your expertise or enthusiasm to one of our current initiatives

• contribute your views to our ongoing issues

• bring a whole new idea to us

 

Join the McKernan board

Are you interested in getting more involved with our community? We will be looking for some new board/executive members at our April AGM!

General board responsibilities are to:

• attend a monthly board meeting (2nd Monday of the month)

• help oversee the current activities and responsibilities of the league (hall operation, budget, events)

• take on projects based on your own interests and what needs to be done (ideas we'd love to pursue include increasing student involvement, community garden, artwork in the community, sustainability initiatives - or maybe you have a great idea of your own)

Positions up for election in April are: president and vice-president (1 year term); secretary and treasurer (2-year terms); 2 directors-at-large (2 year terms).
Not quite ready for a board position? There are still lots of places you can help out. If you're interested and want to know more, contact president Phil Kloc at philipgkloc@gmail.com.
