An oasis in a hectic life
Simple guide to becoming a member— follow these 5 easy steps.
Step 1
Province 18 is made up of several Circles, each following the same core principles while maintaining its own unique character. Visiting different Circles allows you to find the one that best suits you—whether it’s the location, meeting night, or familiar faces. No matter which Circle you choose, you and your family will always receive a warm and friendly welcome.
Step 2
Before becoming a member, you are invited to visit different Circles. This gives you the opportunity to attend a monthly meeting, participate in social activities, and experience the community firsthand. It’s important to choose a Circle that feels right for you. Since each Circle meets on different days, be sure to select one that fits well with your schedule and commitments.
Step 3
Once you’ve chosen the Circle you’d like to join, reach out to the President or Membership Officer. They will guide you through the simple application process and explain the enrolment procedure, ensuring a smooth and welcoming transition into the community.
Step 4
Your enrolment marks the official start of your Catenian journey. It is a special moment where you formally express your commitment to joining the Association and becoming part of your chosen Circle. It is also a time for your fellow members to warmly welcome you into the community, embracing you as a valued part of the Catenian family.
Step 5
As with many things in life, the more you put in the more you get out. The same is true for Catenians. Attend the monthly meetings and prepare to meet new friends. Visit other Circles and expand your network. Take part in the social life of the Circle and Province and you will quickly find meaningful companionship.
