We provide discount annual memberships to our  new and continuing  
volunteers ($40 individual discounted to $30; $50 family discounted  
to $40).  We feel this offer demonstrates our appreciation for their  
efforts and recognizes the services they provide.  We do not provide  
free memberships because we want all of our staff, paid or unpaid, to  
understand that membership is an opportunity to contribute to the  
future of the organization.
