TASCA Update
FREE MEMBERSHIP UNTIL 2021
As 2020 has proven to be a challenging year for us all, and in the spirit of continued support for our community, the Executive Committee has decided to make some changes to our membership program. We understand that many are experiencing financial, health and/or mental health issues due to the pandemic, the amount of information (and misinformation) that is being delivered and the general uncertainty that is present in the community for us all. TASCA has continued to work on the key areas of engagement, support and education under what are very unusual and often difficult circumstances. As a gesture of support and understanding, the Executive Committee has voted to put 2020 membership fees on hold. What will this mean for you? Nothing will change from our perspective. Memberships will be on hold until September 1, 2021 and reminders will be sent to all members in August 2021. However, we encourage all members, their families and carers to continue engaging with us in all our online activities, especially the chat groups. Also, we would like to extend an invitation to members to encourage friends and family to join our organisation and support TASCA’s ongoing role in the community.

MASKS FOR MEMBERS
This August TASCA partnered with DHHS to obtain both disposable and reusable masks to share with members. We are happy to see these were well received and glad that you are all taking precautions to stay safe out there!
With a few masks left over, TASCA also partnered with FED cafe, offering them to locals and promoting awareness of TASCA while doing so.
If you would like additional items, please contact the office to make
arrangements.
TASCA acknowledges Australia’s first peoples as the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we meet and provide our services to those affected by genetic haemoglobin disorders. We pay our respect to them and their cultures, and to elders both past and present.
