Become a Friend of the Association

A friend is someone who, although not a member, wants to be kept informed about upcoming lectures and other HA activities.
 
A friend is also any non-member who makes a financial contribution to the Association that does not include a donation for membetrship.

       Such contributions are entirely voluntary and always welcome. They may be dedicated to a specific activity, such as the annual lectures series or a specific HA award. Our Friend's Application & Donation Form (accessed via the link below) includes a section for any one wishing to make a one-time or recurring special contribution.       
  

What do Friends Receive from the Association?

It's Easy to become a Friend

1.  Click on this link to open our Friend's Application & Donation Form. Note that the page displays two copies of the form. The first is for HAALSA; the second is for you.
   
Your browser needs Adobe® Reader® or an equivalent plugin to display this pdf-format document. Your browser may already have such a plug-in installed or will automatically locate and install one if you permit it to do so. Alternatively, you can obtain Adobe Reader from the Adobe.com website using this link: Get Adobe Reader.

 
2.  Print the Application Form.
 
3.  Complete Copy 1 (copy for HAALSA).
   
Be sure to date your application.
 
Please check all information for accuracy and completeness, particularly your postal and email addresses. (We ask for email addresses because they enable us to notify members and friends of forthcoming lectures and special events.)

 
4.  If you wish to include a contribution with your application, write your cheque, payable to: The Hamilton Association
   
Be sure the amount entered on your cheque matches the total of the amount(s) listed on the form.
Please, no post-dated cheques.

 
5.  If you wish to retain a record of your contribution, complete Copy 2.
 
6.  Mail Copy 1 to the address given on the form. Remember to include your cheque if making a donation.
 
7.  Please inform the Association Treasurer of any subsequent change to your email or postal address or other contact details. Doing so will enable us to keep you advised of forthcoming events and ensure that you obtain a tax deductable receipt for any donation you may have made.
   
All contributions for charitable purposes are tax deductible. Receipts for income tax purposes are mailed to donors early in January (for donations received during the previous calendar year). Receipts returned to us by Canada Post can be picked up at our February, March and April public lectures.
