Associate Membership Registration Form
Facility Membership: - Recreation Facility Personnel is now offering single Facility Memberships for a pilot period of five years. It is available to public and private recreation facilities. This allows five facility staff to become members for one year for the price of $307.00 and additional facility memberships in increments of $307.00 for each group of five staff. Once the five staff members are identified, the memberships are non-transferable during the one year membership. This will allow those staff members identified to participate in R.F.P.’s courses and conference as a Member. At the time of application, all five memberships do not have to be assigned, however, those added at a later date will have to go under the original membership date. This membership only allows one copy of any mailouts (i.e. Leisure Lines newsletter, Calendar, etc.) to be sent to the Facility identified. Please complete the information below and have the Facility Manager or Recreation Director sign. Then forward this form to R.F.P. with a cheque in the amount of $307.00. The membership will start on the date the cheque is received in the Office.

PAST PRESIDENT'S COMMITTEE

LOGBOOKS
We all know the importance of showing due diligence in our operation. Did you know that you have to keep records on your operation for at least 7 years? If you don't have the proper documents and a lawsuit arises, you will have problems. To this end, R.F.P. is selling logbooks.
We've taken information from several arenas and pools from around Alberta and developed logbooks that are practical, easy to use and allow you to record information and store your records in an orderly and efficient manner. Each book is full of tips to assist you in your operation.
We have logbooks for Ice Thickness, Refrigeration readings and Swimming Pool readings and maintenance. The cost for these books is just $25.00 each (plus GST and S&H). To order yours, contact the RFP office at 403-851-7626 or call 1-888-253-7544 or e-mail us at office@aarfp.com.
