Volunteer Commitment
The active involvement of volunteers is vital to Dressage Winnipeg so that it can offer well-run and affordable shows, events and benefits to its members. To ensure that volunteers
can be counted on when needed, the volunteer portion of the Regular membership in Dressage Winnipeg has proven to be an essential component. Here's how it works.
When you join Dressage Winnipeg as a Regular Junior, Senior or Family member, you commit to DW for at least eight hours of volunteer time during the course of the year. Most
people choose to volunteer at the horse shows, but other volunteer options are possible. The eight volunteer hours can be worked all at once or in variable combinations.
The Volunteer Committee will attempt to schedule you in to your preferred area as indicated on your membership form. Please contact the Volunteer Coordinator to confirm your
commitment . Sooner will be better than later.
Members are expected to volunteer their own time, but a friend or relative
may also fulfill the commitment. Your commitment to volunteer is
secured with a separate post-dated cheque that accompanies your
membership form. Your volunteer security cheque for $
100.00 should be post-dated for 1 October 2008. If you fulfill
your volunteer commitment your cheque will be destroyed. If for
some reason you do not fulfill at least eight hours of volunteer
time during the year, your cheque will be cashed.
If eight hours of volunteering is not something you can work into your schedule then you can take the option of immediately paying out your $100.00 with your membership form.
Please note that a $100.00 Volunteer Commitment is required for each Regular member (Junior or Senior) in a Family membership.
Note: Dressage Winnipeg will not be collecting CADORA fees in 2008.
