Dear interested parties,
Although we have been quiet the last few months, we were actively doing the groundwork to establish the association. We are now ready to engage with would-be members.
In order to establish some financial basis for planned events next year we need to collect membership fees as a matter of urgency.
If you are interested in becoming a member, kindly send a message to our facebook inbox with your email address to enable the Treasurer to contact you with the details.
If you at any stage filled in a "Membership Interest" form at the ARESA seminar last year or obtained via your REC, you would have recieved an e-mail from the treasurer already.
