A new way to pay for memberships has started!

We are informing you today that effective immediately, we have changed the process of membership renewal. We are excited to announce "automatic renewals." Imagine, you can now pay your membership online and if you have a PayPal account you will be able to automatically renew your membership every 12 months. For those that are not comfortable with automatic renewals we will still have our non-renewing memberships. No matter which you choose (although we hope you choose automatic renewals) you will receive an email notification when your membership is about to expire. If you subscribe to automatic renewals you will always be able to turn this off anytime in your "My Account profile" and therefore will not be automatically charged.
Memberships will now be 12 months from the time you start as opposed to from July 1 to June 30. This makes becoming a member at anytime fully rewarding.
If you are new to JCAM (never purchased anything online from our website) you will be asked to register, which will capture all your details for membership. There are a few fields now that will only appear for new members but the information is very important for everyone to fill in. Therefore, we have created your own personal account called "My Account." In this area you will be able to update your profile, change your address or phone numbers, change passwords, and control your subscription to JCAM automatic renewal membership.

Anyone can become a member of the JCAM regardless of ethnic background or affiliation. The benefits of membership are many. You don’t have to know the Japanese language or be of Japanese origin – you simply need a desire to enjoy our programs and events at the Centre. Membership entitles you to many advantages, including:

Most importantly, a place to connect with the Japanese community in Manitoba
Activities for all ages, from children and parents to seniors
Family and individual programs including our Japanese Language Program
Use of our facility, including a reduced rental rate for special events such as Family or Business meetings, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, etc.

Up to 5 newsletters (email & printed in both languages) each year outlining Centre activities and community news
Instant messaging via weekly email of the latest news at the Centre

Finally, membership is being part of the JCAM family! Whether you are a Nikkei, Japanese new comer, or just love everything Japanese, JCAM is definitely an organization you will want to be affiliated with. So come see what you are missing and join JCAM today!
