"We always hear about the rights of democracy, but the major responsibility of it is participation." ~ Wynton Marsalis (1961- )
When you shop on smile.amazon.com, and select COPD-Support, Inc. as your charitable organization, Amazon will donate 0.05% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to support our programs. Thanks for your help!
You do not have to be a voting member to subscribe to any of our programs.
Additionally, there is absolutely no charge for any service we offer.
For those of you who are already Subscribers to the COPD Email List should you wish to help us plan ways and means to publicize our program so that all who need it may take advantage; should you wish to help provide some leadership for our various programs; should you feel that it is an opportunity to support financially a program which provides so much; or should you wish a voice in the policies and programs then we need you to become a member of the Corporation, for only in this way will you have a voting privilege.
Per annum dues are as follows:
$25 for regular membership
(a full voting membership)
$50 for professional membership
(medical personnel who are not afflicted nor a personal caregiver
for someone with COPD. This is a non-voting membership.)
$100 for a corporate membership
(Individuals who represent any company that supplies medication,
equipment, material or services and who is not themselves afflicted
with COPD. This also is a non-voting membership)
Of course, since our Corporation is designated as a non-profit organization 501(c)(3), the membership dues can be tax deductible.
* By Florida law, we are required to include our registration number (CH13190) and this statement: 'A COPY OF THE OFFICIAL REGISTRATION AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE DIVISION OF CONSUMER SERVICES BY CALLING TOLL-FREE (1-800-435-7352) WITHIN THE STATE. REGISTRATION DOES NOT IMPLY ENDORSEMENT, APPROVAL, OR RECOMMENDATION BY THE STATE'. Information is available online here.
Again, let me emphasize that you need not be a member to subscribe to our programs. In addition, if you should wish to participate in providing the programs but can not afford the dues, you may ask for a courtesy membership and the dues will be waived. The reason that we must ask you to request this in writing is for the purpose of audit. This is to show why we have more members than dues.
We hope that you will accept this opportunity,
Carolyn Krall
President COPD-Support, Inc
