Membership

MHS membership is open to anyone in the community who

  • is over the age of 18

  • and will abide by the rules and the constitution of MHS

 

Membership numbers are vital for the success of MHS and its objectives. Currently, we have 35 members, and we aim to increase our membership base to at least 100 members over the coming 12 months. The additional members will help with funding and sharing of responsibilities of the community centre.  (Membership Form)
