We are Different,
and here is why...
and here is why...
We recently received a note from a professional writer who was doing online research and stumbled across our website. He was intrigued, and as a result he wrote an article about our Crown Jewels group and sent us a copy of his story.
He mentioned that the Crown Jewels of Canada Society is similar to Red Hat Society, but we disagree.
In his article, references were made to the fact that we are a federally registered non-profit society, which is correct, while the RHS is a privately-owned corporation, in the business of making money. As a non-profit we are not in the business of making money and collect just enough in membership fees to cover our expenses. The initial membership is $15 (registration fee of $5 and the annual membership fee of $10).
The CJCS differs greatly in many ways. In fact there is little similarity other than we are all about women socializing and having fun and supporting each other. Unlike the RHS, we release our financial information to our members, we have a Board of Directors who oversee the operations of our society, and directors are elected by the membership. Any significant changes such as an increase in membership fees must be voted upon by the members at our Annual General Meeting. We listen to our members, and our members have a say.
Our By-Laws and subsequent update of our by-laws, that govern our operation, are subject to approval by the members and were written in coordination with the laws of the Government of Canada for National Non-Profit Societies, and our lawyer who is always available to guide us. We have also have our lawyer available to assist our members, at no charge to the member(s) when required.
We also offer an insurance program for our members. Any member is welcome to participate in the Crown Jewels Member's policy for a nominal annual fee. This is an important perk for all members but especially for those planning events, booking event locations, chartering buses, hosting events, etc.
As a Canadian National Non-Profit, membership is restricted to Canadians, and women living in Canada.
