Our General Membership meeting Tuesday night was very discouraging. We did not have enough members at our meeting to do any business (have to have at least 10 members to vote) and we only had one willing candidate to serve on our Nominating Committee for next year. The PTSA runs the risk of losing its 501c3 status if a Nominating Committee is not found and operational before April. Our Standing Rules recommends a minimum of three members.

If you could spare a little time over the next couple of months, we definitely need some PTSA members to step up and be on the Nominating Committee. It is not a big commitment – your obligation is to talk with people and see if they would be interested in running for office (President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer). It is not your obligation to run for office nor is it your obligation to find someone for every office. If you try your best and the spots are not filled, our PTSA has done its due diligence. It takes probably 4-5 hours to do a thorough job of reaching out to people. A slate of names would need to be gathered by our April general meetings.

If you would like to help with the Nominating Committee, please email Kimberly Montague at mkmontague@hotmail.com. PTSA is doing some wonderful things for kids and the school. We need your help to continue.
