Orange Leaves Production Schedule

Send articles to Kathleen Fay, Orange Leaves editor, . Please try to keep your articles brief and concise. Articles may be edited for length and style.

Our members have told us that they appreciate this “nuts and bolts” information.  As you think about what articles to write, remember that every year we have brand new members who are trying to figure out the PTA thing. We also have continuing members who are new to their leadership positions. Even if they have received training, it is helpful to have reminders about what they should be doing and when they should be doing it.

It is also helpful to know the why. Why is it important to collect volunteer hours? Why do the secretary’s minutes have to be pasted in a book? Why do we do an audit twice a year? Knowing the answers to these questions will help unit officers understand and follow through on their duties.

If you are in a position that has regular deadlines or times when things should be done, feel free to send me the entire year’s articles, if you like. Be sure to identify in which issue each article should appear.

If you don’t think you’re a good writer, don’t worry, we will try our best to clean it up.

Thank you!

Kathleen Fay
