Family members can apply to receive a travel stipend to help offset the cost of traveling to the MLC meeting weekend. This stipend comes in the form of a Visa gift card that is awarded to eligible recipients. Awards start at $50. All eligible family members- including shareholders of the MLC- are welcome to apply.

This program allows for family members to apply for a room for a 2 night stay at the lodge during the MLC meeting weekend. It is designed to help relieve some of the burden of attending the annual family meeting by providing a room for Friday and Saturday to eligible family members. This program does not apply to shareholders who are already eligible to receive a complimentary room through the MLC, but it does allow non-shareholding family members to apply.
