CAPITOL ACTION DAY DATE CHANGE

Governance District 4 will attend Capitol Action Day on April 1st along with Governance District 6. The legislators decided to take Spring Break on our previously scheduled date.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT...

Fall RA will be held Saturday, November 15 in Springfield at the University Plaza.  If you would like to attend the awards luncheon, reservations must be made by November 7.  Each year MNEA likes to leave our host city a little better off than it was when we arrived.  One way for us to do this is through a food drive.  Thus, canned goods or monetary donations will be accepted by Cross Lines.  The HOPE Fund will again have a gift card tree as a fund raiser.  As always, PAC will have a silent auction.

DON'T FORGET Governance District 4 will need to elect one member to the PAC Council for a three year term.  Nominations will NOT be accepted from the floor.  Declarations of Candidacy must turned into DeeAnn Aull no later than 11:00 a.m. on November 15.  I have a copies of the candidacy forms.  Please contact me as soon as possible and I will get one to you.  There is also a candidacy form included in the RA packet on page 31.

Please suggest, remind, and ask members to man phone banks this week and next; as well as, sign up to volunteer at a poll to pass out literature opposing Amendment 3.  Members can sign up through www.protectourlocalschools.com.
