How to Decrease Your Membership Fees for Next Season

NYAC membership fees have been simplified for the 2011-12 season by removing the fundraising assessment fee.

However, opportunities still exist to lower fees for your swimmer for next season - 2012-13, provided your swimmer returns to NYAC and your account is in good standing.

There are many fundraising opportunities available to families throughout the year. Any monies raised will be split with the club on a 50/50 basis and credited towards the following year's fees.

The current opportunities for the 2011-12 season are outlined below:

Loblaws Gift Cards
About the program: NYAC sells Loblaws gift cards to our families at face value. Three percent (3%) from the sale of the gift card goes towards the family's fundraising account. For example, if you were to purchase $100.00 of Loblaws gift cards, $3.00 would be credited to your NYAC account. These cards may be used at Loblaws or any of its affiliates including No Frills and Supercentre.
Purchase and Delivery:
Payment is by cheque only, made out to NYAC. Please contact me at kitchenwizard65@hotmail.com if you would like to participate in the program. Cards will be available in $100.00 and $250.00 denominations.

Cookie Dough Fundraiser
About the program: This year we will be once again enjoying Terra Cotta Cookies. A variety of products are available for purchase, including frozen cookie dough, brownies and ready to eat cookies. All products are peanut and nut free. This is another opportunity to contribute to the family's fundraising account. The profits of this fundraiser will be split 50/50 between the club and the NYAC seller, again applied to next year's fees. For example each $10.00 item sold is equivalent to a $1.50 credit towards next year's fees.
