Dues Increase
Due to overall rising costs, the HKVCA has increased its membership fees to $20.00 per year, effective 2012.
This will apply to all who have not yet paid their membership for 2012. If you paid the current fee of $15.00 that’s fine, the increase will not affect you until 2013. The same applies to all those who have paid their membership for a number of years ahead.
All other aspects of payment will remain the same. Please send your dues to your Regional representative as you usually do.
Thanks for helping us maintain our not-for-profit charity in a meaningful way and accomplish our goals of paying our respect to the Hong Kong Vets.
Barry Mitchell, National Treasurer
Getting The Word Out
One of our major challenges is educating the Canadian public about the battle of Hong Kong and its aftermath. A key tool in this effort is our various web sites, as all the information that we've gathered can be found there. How successful are we? A look at our site statistics indicates that over the past year we've been visited by between 2000 to 3200 individuals each month. If you haven't visited lately, drop in to see what's been going on. Our main site at hkvca.ca is updated almost every day.
