From New Member Welcome Packet: What do we do with “Nalc USA”?
Nalc USA is a NPO established in California. Our associated organization "NALC Japan" has 136 branch places of activities throughout Japan with its headquarter office in Osaka and about 30,000 members. Anybody over 50-year old can be a member in Japan.
A member who contributed services counting point/hour and saving the points like a bank saving account is eligible to use the saved points for not only himself/herself but also their own parents for free. It is going to celebrate its 20th anniversary next year.
Nalc USA requires its annual membership fee of $20/single and $32/married couple to be paid at the beginning of each calendar year. No refund upon separation.
Our main motto of contributing services and activities is “whatever we can”, “whenever we can” and “however we can”.
If you’re a member, and want, need and/or expect a certain service from Nalc USA, please contact the coordinator of your area. Then, the coordinator will look for a service provider for you. Before and after the service, both service provider and receiver should contact and report to the coordinator regarding the hours and points used. The district coordinator, in turn, will report the point usage to the assigned Member Point Administrator.
When joining Nalc USA, you’ll receive a set of documents of “Welcome to Nalc USA”.
