2013 Membership: Are now available at the Yukon Made Store. Renew in time to vote at the AGM on February 28th. Don't forget about the $50 volunteer fee. If you volunteered time in 2012, just let Colin, Chris, Andrea, or Alison know in the office. They'll help you figure out whether that meets the entire commitment or part of it. (And, there's no need to feel guilty if you didn't have time to volunteer - we hope you'll consider it $50 well spent.) 2013 membership application
