We are definitely back in full swing after the holiday! I look forward to seeing all of our unit and council officers at our Annual Meeting and Founders Day celebration on February 23rd.
Congratulations to Rio De Valle, our newest PTA.
Now that you are looking at your budgets and planning your spring programs such as Reading Nights, Science Fairs, Career Nights and more, remember the business end of PTA. Units and councils should be working on their first six month audit and mid-year budget revisions. Remember your council is there for help if you need it. Let us know how we can help.
