PARCS UPDATE #170
Feb. 5/2022
It's that time of the year
Every year, just prior to your council or board
setting their budgets, we remind you about
PARCS MEMBERSHIP.
Looking back at our PARCS Membership in 2021, renewing in 2022
The majority of PARCS’ MEMBERS are typically either resort villages or organized hamlets.

1. RESORT VILLAGES
The list that follows shows the 73 % of our Resort Villages which were PARCS members in 2021
  • Individual email invoices have been sent to each of last year’s RV members, inviting them to renew their membership for 2022. 
  • We strongly encourage the 11 resort village non-members to become 2022 members of PARCS. Just pick your rate from the FEE SCHEDULE at the end of this newsletter and send the cheque to the NEW PARCS ADDRESS at the end of the newsletter.

Resort Villages Members (& non-members)
In the North-East:                = 5 members (and 0 non-members)
In the North-West:               = 4 members (and 6 non-members)
In the South-East:                = 10 members (and 3 non-members)
In the South-West:               = 11 members (and 2 non-members)
Total in 2021                         30/41 = 73 %

2. ORGANIZED HAMLETS
The list that follows shows that 54 % of Sask Organized Hamlet cottage communities were PARCS members in 2021.
  • It is not possible to send individual email invoices to each of last year’s RV members, inviting them to renew their membership for 2022, because so many of our Constant Contact email addresses are private addresses of members of the OH board. The best we can do is to list last year’s members and encourage you to renew, using the same rate (see end of newsletter).
