PTA President's Challenge
Add 10 in 2010!
Dear PTA Leader:
Happy New Year! Thank you for the important role you play in the California State PTA. If there is but one resolution I intend to embrace in 2010, it is to fully support and empower the work that you do.
You make the difference in serving children and enabling the work of teachers and staff. You are the voice for parent education and involvement. You are the advocate for laws and public policy that ensure the health, welfare and safety of every child. You are the PTA! And your efforts are enriched when PTA membership is strong ... and growing.
So, let's unite behind a positive resolution for the new year: Add 10 in 2010!
January brings new students, second-semester enthusiasm, and wonderful opportunities to welcome a broader circle of parents and community members to enhance PTA's impact on California's children and families.
Reignite your membership campaign, promote the benefits of PTA to your wider community, and resolve to add at least 10 members to your PTA in 2010 before March 31, 2010!
If every unit reaches out to encourage and welcome an additional 10 members by mid-March, we will be dramatically strengthened to meet the important goals we embrace for all children. As president of the California State PTA, I encourage you to help us amplify the collective voice of our organization.
There is no better time than today. In this year of unprecedented school budget and economic challenges, the mission of the 112-year-old PTA becomes ever more crucial for the future of children in our state and nation. Now more than ever, PTA is a rallying point for parents and teachers who resolve to build a stronger and more cohesive school community and a culture of success for all students.
Let's embrace this resolution together! Accept the challenge of a brand new year and "Add 10 in 2010!"

My best wishes as you resolve to support every child with one voice ... and together we will unleash the power and unlimited potential of PTA membership.
Sincerely,
Jo A.S. Loss
President
