Early Bird Program: Members who join/renew during the month of August will enjoy a special discounted membership fee ($60/yr vs $75/yr).

Exclusive Member Rewards Program: Members will be issued a WWL membership card, which, when presented to participating local vendors, will entitle them to receive certain privileges, discounts and offers exclusively for members.

Member Development Program: The WWL will host group discussions/seminars focused on various topics designed to help members develop more as women, mothers, professionals, small business owners/entrepreneurs.

Mentorship Program: This program will connect members 1:1 for the purpose of getting members better acquainted with the WWL and/or matched with others with similar interests/skills.

Member Referral Program: Members who refer other members will receive one raffle entry for a special gift for each member that joins.

Question Title

* 4. WWL Mission Statement:
"The WWL, founded in 1972, is a non-profit, philanthropic organization and diverse group of women dedicated to volunteering and raising funds in support of charitable, educational and community needs in Weston and surrounding towns."

In furtherance of our mission, we ask each WWL member to commit to 4 volunteer initiatives throughout the year.

Please indicate your preference for which events you may want to volunteer (please choose one event from each of the drop-down menus, as the groupings have been designed to help each member better forecast and manage her individual volunteer efforts):

	Level I (Fall, 2014)	Level II (Fall, 2014)	Level I (Spring, 2015)	Level II (Spring, 2015)
**	** Level I (Fall, 2014) menu	** Level II (Fall, 2014) menu	** Level I (Spring, 2015) menu	** Level II (Spring, 2015) menu

Question Title

* 5. If you foresee that committing to 4 volunteer initiatives throughout the year may be challenging, would you be interested in the option to join as a "Social Member", which WOULD NOT require you to volunteer, but WOULD require you to pay a higher membership fee ($180/yr vs. $60/yr) that will be used to help the WWL operate and further our philanthropic mission?

Yes

Maybe

I should be able to manage 4 volunteer initiatives throughout the year

If "no" or "maybe", please tell us why, so that we may continue to refine the WWL so that it most accurately reflects the ever-changing complexion, needs and expectations of our members:
