Updated Members Page
Check out the updated Members page on the website under Branch
176 heading. We have increased the size of the photos and we have tried
to get as many profiles as possible. If you are one of those without a
profile or with an older one that needs to be updated you can begin by
going to the Branch 176 tab, clicking on forms and downloading the
Profile Guide. This will guide
you with suggestions of the things about you that our members might be
interested to know. Our Profile editor Gary Good will be happy
to help you craft your life story.
We are looking for someone to step up and volunteer to lead this activity. If that is you please let Tom Palmer know.

contact. You can get some from Garry Trojanowski.

New Member Application Changes
We have a revised membership application now available. As part of the recruitment process we now ask potential members to attend two SIR events before being considered for membership. This is designed to make for a more informed choice to join. If you bring a new potential member please fill out the Visitor Registration Form and give it to Gary or Larry.

or potential member take a moment to introduce yourself and make them
feel welcome.
