In the next few months, Green Capes will be holding elections for positions in the club’s Operating Committee, and anyone who is a full member in the club has the opportunity to vote on who will become part of the team that will guide the club’s future activities. You may even be able to become part of the team yourself, and be one of our club’s guiding influences!

Up-coming events:
With the start of the new year comes the planning and design of the new calendar, and the scheduling of events for the new fund raising season. At present, we have no events scheduled, but stay tuned for announcements of new events to come, and watch the Facebook groups for postings on how you can help. There will be many fun and exciting times to come!

Are you looking for a great new year’s resolution? How about joining the Green Capes Lions Club, and helping to bring the independence, safety and joy a Superhero brings to a person with a disability!
EVEN A SUPERHERO NEEDS A HELPING PAW
If you have ever considered becoming a member, now is a great time! What an amazing way to start off the new year!
We need new people, new ideas and new energy. As a full member you would be able to participate in meetings and committees, lead events and guide our future!
Did you know that there are fewer than 25 full time members at Green Capes?
Anyone is welcome to join, from anywhere in Canada! Most members are past or present puppy raisers, graduates and supporters, and we all work together to help give Canadians living with disabilities the joy, safety and independence a Dog Guide brings.
Green Capes meets monthly via Zoom, and currently conducts events in southern Ontario and northeast British Columbia.

Members pay an annual membership fee of $95 (pro-rated, if applicable), plus a one-time Lions International setup fee of $50.
Come join the fun, and help us make today’s puppies tomorrow’s Superheroes!
