New Changes in the 20th District Board

At the last executive board meeting, the 20th District Board made some important changes to its members.

We are very sorry to lose Robin Martinez as our Treasurer and Katia Stornetta as our membership chair. They will be greatly missed as they both did excellent jobs in their positions.

We would like to welcome Kevin Singley to the board as our Auditor, a postion that has been sorely needed. Thank you, Kevin!

To accommodate the loss of our Treasurer and Membership Chair, other changes were made on the board. Following is a new and updated list of the 20th District Board.

Thank you very much to Stephanie Bloom, our new Treasurer, Melanie Gibson, our new Secretary, Mark Baloy, our new Historian and Tami Baloy, our new Membership Chair for taking on new positions and challenges to help keep our district successful!

In other announcements, our annual District Dinner will be held on April 25th. Please, mark your calendars now and plan to attend!

At the same time, the annual Worker's Comp reports need to be submitted with $14. This needs to be submitted even if you do NOT have any people employed by the PTA.

You can mail these items to:

Member Per Capita Dues and Deadlines

Hi everyone, it's that time again to start turning in your membership per capita dues. You can start anytime using this Remittance form with the correct address for you to send those to.

Remember, you should be sending in dues every month. Below are the deadlines for the first remittance, as well as the remittances for the membership awards - Early Bird and Chairman's club.

It's not hard to get these awards, it's just a matter of getting those dues in on time and for the Chairman's club, you need 50 members.

Our District Treasurer is Robin Martinez. Her number is 831-884-9619. Give her a call or an email (therobinjm@netzero.net) if you have any questions.

Due dates to have those into Robin are:
Early Bird (15 members) October 17
Chairman’s Club (50 members due) November 1
First membership remittance November 16

If you don't have 15 members sent in by November 16th, you will be deemed "not in good standing" by the state PTA. After that, things get messy so don't miss this deadline!

Also, look for information coming in the next day or two about OMDR, the National PTA's new member database system.
