Membership Drive |
|
|
|
September 1st to October 31st CPF’s membership drive runs each September and October. This year, in recognition of CPF-BC & Yukon branch’s 30th anniversary, we have pulled out all the stops and lined up spectacular prizes worth thousand of dollars! Not only that, at least 90% of your membership fee will come back to your chapter during the membership drive. That means more fun events in the schools, more resources for parents and teachers, and more great camps, contests, and extracurricular activities in French for the kids! Contact your local CPF chapter for details about activities held in your district and school.
