October 31st: A Very Important Date for PTA 
Membership Matters!

October is a tremendous month for Oklahoma PTA. As the 31st draws close, we anxiously await the annual reports and first membership report of the year from our units.

Your unit must submit certain reports to qualify as in good standing. You must be in good standing to be eligible to participate in the Reflections program or to win grants and awards from Oklahoma PTA and National PTA.

Membership is our strength. When we speak to lawmakers, our voice is stronger because of our membership.

Only days remain for you to ensure that your unit is in the first group of enrolled members for 2016-17 and qualifies as in good standing. Don't wait until October 31st, finish your reports today!
