Supporting CIR
There are many ways to support the mission of CIR:
- Become a member. Your basic membership entitles you to newsletters, the CIRcular, our quarterly newsletter, as well as discounted admission to most events.
- Consider membership at a higher level. While providing greater support to CIR, the higher membership levels provide benefits to you such as preferred seating at events, free passes to luncheons and dinners and invitations to private receptions with speakers.
- Make a donation to Student Outreach when purchasing tickets. Student Outreach Support monies are primarily used to defray the cost of meals for local high school and university students and their teachers at World Affairs Discussion Luncheons. CIR welcomes these participants free of charge as part of CIR’s mission to bring awareness of international affairs to the local community with the side benefit of the students providing a new perspective during the discussions.
- Donate to the Gordan Winkler Memorial Fund. The Gordan Winkler Memorial Fund was created in 2007 in memory of Gordon Winkler, former CIR board member and president, who passed away in December 2006. Donations to this fund are used to support specific opportunities to enrich international educational experiences of students in Santa Fe area schools.
- Donate to the General Fund. CIR activities are only limited by our ability to underwrite them. Your donation might allow us to sponsor a big-name speaker, increase our outreach efforts or expand our activities.
- Volunteer. There are many opportunities to become more involved. To see a list of volunteer possibilities, please visit the Volunteer page under Membership.
- Participate! Whether you voice your opinion during World Affairs Discussion Luncheons or Dinners, take a more active role at lectures or host a foreign visitor for dinner in your home, there are many ways in which to participate.
We look forward to your involvement!
