Millrise Community Association Membership at an "All Time Low"
The membership of the Millrise Community Association has hit an all time low, steadily decreasing over the years. 2007 levels were at 80 membership families out of a possible community family membership of 1945. That's only 4%. The average City of Calgary community memberships sits at 11%. Since April is our membership renewel month, we need the community's help in increasing our membership levels, so that we can sustain what we do have, and consider other services that will benefit the community.
At time of writing, we are currently only at 18 paid memberships for the 2007/2008 operating Year. Memberships are $20.00 per house hold and are valid for one year (April to April). Membership to the Millrise Community Association is volunteer based and is really the only source of funding we have for operating costs. The low membership level results in a very low population of community volunteers. We don't even have enough people to perform a door to door membership drive. If you are interested in a membership or to volunteer in any capacity, please contact any member of the current Board or e-mail
