OCUA VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
OCUA is run by volunteers. Without the time put in by many
people, this league wouldn't exist. A couple hours of your
time, could make a huge difference. The following is a list
of current volunteer openings. Please refer to
http://www.ocua.ca/ocua/volunteer.html for details about
volunteer openings.
Current Volunteer Opportunities:
- Field Cell Volunteers
- Media Watchers
Please email volunteer@ocua.ca if you have any questions, or
if you are interested in helping out.
Thanks,
Julie Thompson
OCUA Volunteer Coordinator

THE ULTIMATE CARD
Want to help support Canadian Ultimate?
Sign up for The Ultimate Card.
Both types of cards, platinum and preferred, carry no annual
fee, but when an Ultimate player signs up, and is accepted
for the card, a portion of their net purchase amount will be
sent back to their respective League's administration. Their
League will then decide, we hope with their members input,
how that money will be used.
The result: cardholders will be helping to build, and to
support, the Ultimate community.
What better way to increase revenues for your League than to
use The Ultimate card not only on regular, everyday
purchases, but also on purchases from Ultimate related
companies and others.
We hope that you will explore this exciting fund-raising
program. For more information, as well as an online
application, please visit www.theultimatecard.ca
