Must
I Become A Member of PFLAG Phoenix?
No. We do appreciate fully
the financial (and emotional) stability our chapter
members provide to us, however, you do not have to
become a member to attend PFLAG Phoenix support
meetings, PFLAG Phoenix sponsored events, or to
volunteer with PFLAG Phoenix. We want to make
PFLAG support and education accessible to everyone, so
we don't require chapter membership so we can make that
happen. |
