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 twelve 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 twelve volunteer hours can be worked all at once or in variable combinations. The Volunteer Positions descriptions are outlined here.
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 (Krista Thiessen, kristathiessen@shaw.ca, or 283-5270 ). Sooner will be better than later.
Volunteer Form
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 $140.00 should be post-dated for 1 October 2010. If you fulfill your volunteer commitment your cheque will be destroyed. If for some reason you do not fulfill at least twelve hours of volunteer time during the year, your cheque will be cashed.
If twelve hours of volunteering is not something you can work into your schedule then you can take the option of immediately paying out your $140.00 with your membership form. Please note that a $140.00 Volunteer Commitment is required for each Regular member (Junior or Senior) in a Family membership.
