COURREGES PTA NEEDS YOUR FEEDBACK!
 

It is time to consider increasing our membership dues…

For about 10 years, a PTA membership has cost $5. BUT - the 4th District PTA has notified us that it will now be collecting $.50 from each membership we secure rather than $.35.

Your current $5 membership goes a long way….

What do you think of an annual membership for $6???

By increasing a Courreges PTA membership by only one dollar, we can

1. Keep memberships affordable enough for everyone

2. Cover the increase we will be required to submit to 4th District beginning next fall

3. Be prepared for potential increases in the future from National, State or Huntington Union levels

4. Raise a little more for our kids and the programs we support at Courreges. This year, we have raised $700 through memberships for our budget of $152,000. Wouldn’t it be great to raise another $600+ through the same number of memberships?

The Courreges PTA Board will need to vote on a proposed new membership fee as part of its proposed bylaw changes on January 11, 2008. This is necessary to submit proposed changes to the union and district levels in time for our members to be able to officially vote on the changes in the spring.
