"I Vi^ish to emphasize that Centre membership will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis until our goal of 500 member families is reached.

"We have no wish to be restrictive, or a private club," Mr. Jackson continued, "Our quota of 500 families is based on our budget which provides sufficient staff members to adequately serve that size of membership. As I've said before, if we oversubscribe quickly, we can still make staff arrangements to accommodate more families this fall."
