| 2016 Anza PTA Pledge & Membership Drive |
Pledge & Membership Drive Update
We are now at 59% of our target with $41,276 pledged as of 10/6! Room 29 is still in the lead with 55% participation. Room 11 is hot on their heels with 54% with Room 32 right behind with 52%. Six additional classrooms were over 40% and still in the hunt. Memberships are up to 427 and that puts us at 66% of our goal. We will be making our final count this week and announcing all of the incentive winners at
Friday's assembly. Although the deadline to turn in to become eligible for individual and class participation incentives has already passed we will still gladly accept Pledges and Memberships throughout the school year with check or cash turned into the classrooms or online via
PayPal.
This year we are combining the Pledge Drive (formerly known as Direct Donation) and Membership Drive so that we can make it easier on everyone by requiring a single form and allowing people to write a single check. It is a slightly different form from last year so please read carefully and reach out to PTA Volunteer Pledge and Membership Chair, Keith Herbers at
anzadirectdonation@gmail.com if you have any questions at all.
