Please Renew
Today!
MCL would like to thank members who have renewed their membership for
the 2003 calendar year. We greatly appreciate your support! Thanks also to new
members for joining! A one year membership is still available for the low price
of $15 and learner subscriptions are free. Although you receive some MCL
publications through your provincial or territorial coalition mailings, a
membership ensures timely and direct delivery of all our publications. We are
especially keen to get your most up-to-date email address since we now do a lot
of our “members only” updates through email. If you did not receive
renewal forms or would like more information, please contact the MCL office at
tel: 613-563-2464 or check online at www.literacy.ca under
Membership. |
