AARC MEMBERSHIP DISCOUNT!
Attention LSRC Members – Your Best Membership Deal Yet
The Louisiana Society for Respiratory Care has an excellent AARC membership opportunity for you For a limited time, we are selling vouchers for AARC Membership for only $80. (A membership is typically $90.) The LSRC is making this discount happen for you.
Here are our suggestions for taking advantage of this option.
 1. Renew now to save money for yourself. No matter what your expiration date, buying one of these discounted memberships today extends your current membership for 12 months from your expiration date. (As an example, if your membership expires in December 2010, you can buy a voucher now and it will move your expiration to December 2011.  The AARC tracks on 12 months from whenever you expire.)
2. Encourage a new member to join. There’s never been a better time.  I encourage each AARC Member to help our Membership Committee in encouraging therapists that aren’t AARC Members to consider becoming one by purchasing a Membership Voucher at the low membership dues level.
3. Influence a mass purchase. If you are in a position to influence numerous memberships in your department or school, take advantage of these lower prices. Maximize your budget or take charge of a mass purchase of memberships at your facility for this low rate.
 To take advantage of any or all of the above opportunities, please do the following:
 Email LSRC Membership Chair Brett Stafford at
            http://us.mc554.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=bstafford@stph.org
He will tell you your next steps to saving money on memberships.
 I appreciate your time and effort in helping the LSRC membership committee, the American Association For Respiratory Care and the Louisiana Society For Respiratory Care in this endeavor.
The LSRC is making these discounts available for your benefit. Please consider this option today and act by August 1, 2010.

LSRC President 2010
