2009/2010 NCARF Membership Incentive  
 
dollar sign NCARF Leadership would like to give back to membership during this economic downturn by initiating an incentive to all members who renew their membership with NCARF this year. Once all membership dues have been collected, your organization will receive a "stimulus rebate check" reflecting approximately 25% of your dues paid from the previous year.   
 
2009/210 NCARF Membership Renewal Applications are due next Monday, August 31 to be eligible for the rebate check.  Your renewal must be postmarked by August 31.   
 
Stimulus checks are currently being processed and will be mailed out shortly. This extra money can help send additional employees from your organization to the upcoming Annual Training Conference.
 
Contact Nicole Shore at nshore@firstpointresources.com with any questions.
