5.21.2010 Weekly Email (year’s final)
ByLU Presidents, ECCC PTA BOD's, and others,
The end of the school year is here…hard to believe. This is your last official day as a Local Unit President, unless you are continuing next year. Please continue to check our website for updates. We will try and keep it up to date throughout the summer.
Please let your incoming President know that we hope to have our dates finally set by mid June at the latest. President's night will be included in that and most likely will be in August and not in July.
Thank you to all of you for a wonderful year for ECCC PTA of Educating, Communicating, Connecting with the Community!
We have had a little difficulties with the survey site…so it will be up soon and will send out the link once running properly!!!
We hope to see many of you at CLT June 25 & 26. Remember, this is where you will also receive your new Membership Cards for the 2010-11 school year! You must designate one person to pick them up. If you do not, I am sure we, ECCC PTA, will be picking them up and contacting your incoming President we have them!
Please make sure your Secretary has input your New Officers for 2010-2011. You will all be receiving new Bylaws electronically from GA PTA since we changed our name. So please make sure that information has been input.
Our new ECCC PTA Officers are as follows:
Abby Shiffman & Irene Barton, Co-Presidents
Pamela Kent & Stephanie Daniels, Co-VPs
Lynne Cherrington, Secretary
Laurie Rashidi-Yazd, Treasurer
Karen Hallacy, Parliamentarian
Amie Fann, Advisor/Past President
It has been our pleasure to serve you this year,
Amie Fann & Abby Shiffman, Co-Presidents
