ASCCA Membership Benefits

Greetings to all former ASCCA Member Clubs

It has been sad to learn of the recent closure of several member Clubs – the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic has been quite devastating for many due to diminishing membership numbers. Add to that the increasing cost of overheads, the cost of rental premises, electricity, communications, etc., as well as diminishing staff and/or volunteers to help administer clubs and deliver training. This is making it harder and harder for our clubs to remain viable – and ASCCA can also most certainly relate to those challenges.

Membership subscriptions for the previous financial year were set on a tiered basis, depending upon membership numbers.  The fees for the 2022.23 financial year have been streamlined, still based on membership numbers as at 30^th June 2022. Clubs with less than 50 members, the fee is $0; for Clubs with more than 50 members the fee is $52 per annum – that’s just $1 per week.

This year the ASCCA Board of Directors has worked to make the process of joining or re-joining even more simple – as well as affordable - demonstration of yet another way that ASCCA strives to provide support and ease financial stress that is still being experienced across the board, as the result of the last two years of restrictions brought about by the COVID 19 Pandemic.

ASCCA would like to extend the invitation to our former Clubs to re-join, as we are working hard to support our members during the post pandemic rebuilding phase we now find ourselves in.

Please appraise yourselves with the attached “Benefits of Joining ASCCA” to see how we are listening to and supporting our members.

We very much look forward to welcoming you back into the ASCCA fold, and joining us in what we are planning to be a very exciting and productive year for Seniors and Technology!
