Dear Unit, Council and District Leaders,

Thank you for all the hard work you’ve put into the first three checkpoints on the Membership Drive Challenge, especially considering the difficult conditions we've all been working in this year! Before you take a break for the winter holidays, we wanted to send you a few membership reminders:

• If you haven't already, start working toward checkpoint #4, the Teachers Matter challenge! All PTA units with 100% teacher participation who submit a completed application by midnight on February 1, 2021 will be entered into a drawing to win a PTA tablecloth for your school. Click here for the application form, or visit the Membership Incentives and Awards web page.

• Be sure to remit all the new memberships you have collected for this school year. This will help make your audit process go smoother, and help us make sure we have your most up-to-date numbers for awards and recognition.

• Remind families to join PTA on your website, via social media, and in newsletters. Click here for social media templates. Encourage them to either join their local unit by clicking here, or to join Golden State PTA by clicking here. Alternatively, they can make a donation by clicking the green "DONATE" button at the bottom of the capta.org homepage.

Remember that your councils and districts are here to support you if you have any membership needs. The State Membership Team is also here for you -- you can send questions, comments or concerns to membership@capta.org.

Happy Holidays,

Michael Morgan
Vice President for Membership Services
California State PTA
