Did you know...

Q:  Do I hold the membership list and dues until October 15?

A:  No, send the names and dues in when enrolled. Members names must be in the Texas PTA Office before the membership
cards are valid. October 15 is a reporting deadline used to determine membership awards and voting representation at state
convention. Membership campaigns should be ongoing through March 15. Mail your membership list and check by certified mail, return receipt requested, especially if your check is for a large amount. Be sure to keep copies of the membership list for the
president, secretary, treasurer and membership chairman.
