Dear PTA Advocates of Duval County,

It is with regret that we announce the May 13 P&P and Vendor Fair has been canceled.

We will still somehow and in some way celebrate all of the important work of our wonderful PTAs and PTSAs as well as this year's award winners. As with everything during this time we do not know when that will be. Stay tuned!

Any PTA that has purchased tickets will receive a refund or have their check returned.

Reminder that awards submission is quickly approaching, instructions below.

Even from a distance, we can continue "Building a Bridge" TOGETHER. Stay well!

Sincerely,

Theresa Rogers

President, Duval County Council of PTAs and PTSAs
