Hi all,

I am sure this comes as no surprise, but we, the District 10 Board, in consultation with Georgia PTA, have decided to postpone our Spring Conference until further notice.

We are hopeful that we will be able to schedule it for later this school semester. We do recognize that at some point it may be too late in the year to hold a conference at all.

However, we are working to host some sort of online webinar to connect with you and provide you with the information that you need. So watch this spot for information on that.

I want to thank the nonprofit organizations Georgia Appleseed and the Center Helping Obesity In Children End Successfully, Inc. (C.H.O.I.C.E.S.) for partnering with us on this event, and I look forward to working with them again. For details, see the nonprofits sidebar.

I also want to thank our business partners American Carnival Mart and Educational Products, Inc. for their support as well. Please check out their web sites and see how they can fit into your school’s plans. See details below.

If you need anything from the District or your council leaders, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please stay safe, stay physically distant (for now), keep washing your hands (20 seconds every 20 minutes), and thank you for all that you are doing,

John

SPOTLIGHT ON NONPROFIT PARTNERS

The Georgia Appleseed Center for Law and Justice is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public interest law center with the mission to increase justice in Georgia through law and policy reform and community engagement. We seek a Georgia where the voices of poor people, children and marginalized people are heard and where injustices that no one should endure are resolved. Despite its small staff, Georgia Appleseed has been able to address serious issues of public concern by enlisting the volunteer services of lawyers and other professionals from around the state.

The mission of the Center Helping Obesity In Children End Successfully, Inc. (C.H.O.I.C.E.S.) is to be a parent and child resource center for the clinically diagnosed and at-risk children of obesity. Over the last 17 years, CHOICES has delivered its message of health to more than 85,000 children and adults through cooking classes, workshops, summer camps and health expos.
