F
or the past five years
we have managed
to train over forty (40)
loyal and hardworking
TTARP Members as
Membership Promoters
for the Association.
These promoters are our
Ambassadors who you
may have seen at various
locations such as Massy
Stores, Tru Valu, Republic
Bank, Health Fairs &
seminars etc.
In April, we conducted
a Training Seminar at
HealthNet Medical and
Dental Clinic in Cunupia,
where the Promoters got
further indepth knowledge
about the importance of
dental care, the value of
doing various medical
examinations – CBC, Lipid
Profile, Cholesterol, Sugar
Testing and Colonoscopies.
As you should know,
HealthNet is one of our
Medical Partners offering a
Senior Card which provides
all these medical services
for free or reduced prices. If
you are not yet a member,
I would suggest you join as
soon as possible.

However, we still need to
spread the Membership
Benefits of TTARP, and
so we ask each member
to try to get at least one
new person to join within
the next month. The more
members we have, the
more benefits we can
negotiate for you.
Each year, in the mail you
should receive three TTARP
O50Q magazines (April,
August and December), an
AGM Notice and a Renewal
Notice (if you renew every
two or three years, you
will get a renewal notice
every two or three years).
If your mailing address has
changed since you joined

to them since they are
all retired yet they would
find themselves clothed
in a TTARP waistcoat and
heading to a venue (rain or
shine) to speak to members
of the public about
joining or renewing their
membership card. They do
an excellent job because
who better to convince
someone to join
TTARP and all the
other Membership
Programmes
(such as the
Hospitalisation Plan,
HealthNet’s Senior
Card and Assuria
Life Plan) than a
TTARP member who
has benefitted from
all the benefits and
services.
Many if not most of the
Promoters have been
volunteering their services
for the past few years, and
you may see them assisting
at TTARP Head office
events, at the office or at
various locations. Since this
Membership Promotions

we have gained on average
about 3,000 members each

your Membership Card or

the importance of keeping
your contact information

Lastly, please check the
expiration date on your
