April

Mega Member Perk

April showers bring ASCEND members wildflowers! Pick up some wildflower seeds at the front desk to grow something beautiful and help the pollinators. Thank you, Audubon Society!

NEW THIS APRIL: While you're growing wildflowers, we invite you to grow your ASCEND Fam by starting or adding to your Household Membership!

New Household Members may join anytime in April for FREE! We'll waive the enrollment fee and prorated dues.
