Honorary PTA Life Memberships
|
Giving an Honorary PTA Life Membership to that special person who has done so much for your PTA is such a special way to make them know how important they are to you. Having it awarded to them at the Presidents’ and Principals’ Luncheon in May in front of a room full of other PTAs and their Principals is an even more outstanding way to make them feel extra special. And, following their presentation, they can have their picture taken by a professional photographer to preserve that wonderful moment.
If you would like to have your Life Memberships presented at the P&P Luncheon on May 16, 2017. When you fill out the application just fill in my name and address in the return section. I will be collecting all the Life Memberships and preparing them for presentation at the luncheon. If you will let me know you have done this, I will be happy to let you know when I receive them so you are assured your Life Membership will be ready for presentation at the luncheon.
