Kingston Connections Membership Rules

  1. Membership fee is $30 upon joining (January-December)
  2. Should someone wish to join, they will be required to complete the new member form and submit the $30 annual fee at their second meeting; membership includes business information on website and Facebook posts (“this week’s speaker” and KC member special events)
  3. KC allows only one business per member (eg one member cannot cover home/auto insurance AND life insurance, residential AND commercial cleaning, printing AND graphic design)
  4. Meetings are every other Thursday at rotating Aspira Retirement locations, 8am, with reminder emails.
  5. Members are encouraged to visit websites/Facebook pages of fellow members
  6. Members are asked to utilize the services of fellow members and to provide referrals whenever possible
  7. Members should notify KC Administration if they are going to miss a meeting at info@kingstonconnections.ca (“regrets”)
  8. If a member has missed multiple meetings in a row without notification, KC Administration will reach out to confirm membership.
  9. Members with ongoing absences will be asked to leave the group.
  10. Every member has the opportunity to present details of their business at least once a year (featured speaker); members must notify KC Administration well in advance if they are unable to present on the agreed upon date.
  11. Speakers are asked to bring a small draw prize.
  12. There is a 50/50 draw at each meeting – it is strongly recommended that members purchase a $2 ticket/3 for $5; the money raised is of benefit to all members.
  13. Tickets purchased are also valid for the prize draw (the same ticket cannot win both the 50/50 and the prize)
  14. If there is no speaker, the meeting will be an opportunity to learn more about each member (featured question, non-business related)
  15. Members have the option of joining the Chamber of Commerce under the Kingston Connections banner; the KC Chamber key contact will provide an update of upcoming Chamber events at every meeting. This cost is external to the KC membership and ranges from $30-$60 per year, depending on numbers.
