<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Neighborhood School Community,</div><div><br></div><div>I hope you'll tolerate a tiny bit of personal reflection about my feelings. I'm writing to request help in forming the Parent Teacher Association Executive Board for next year. However, it occurs to me that with everything going on, this may be a trivial matter for many of us.
When I consider what some of us are going through, I have a significant feeling of trepidation about asking for more from our community. Each one of us has perspectives, insight and ideas that are crucial to our community at TNS. Your leadership on the PTA executive board is necessary, but I think it is worth saying explicitly that I'm requesting this of you with sincere humility. With that out of the way . . .</div><div><br></div><div><b><u>Please join the TNS PTA Executive Board for the 2020-21 school year.</u></b></div><div><br></div><div>Our PTA Executive Board consists of five positions, each of which is usually shared by two people. <b>All parents and guardians</b> of children attending TNS are welcome and encouraged to join the executive board. The five positions are as follows:</div><ol><li>President (or co-Presidents)</li><li>Vice-President of Events and Fundraising (or co Vice-Presidents)</li><li>Secretary (or co-Secretaries)</li><li>Treasurer (or co-Treasurers)</li><li>Parent Engagement Liaison</li></ol><div>Please see the attached document for an explanation of what each position entails.</div><div><br></div><div>Several members of the current PTA board expect to continue, and all the members of the current PTA board are keen on providing assistance to the incoming executive board. If you step forward for any of these positions you will receive support and guidance from both the continuing and retiring executive board. </div><div><br></div><div>Even if you are sure you cannot commit to joining the executive board, it would be an immense help if you could encourage others to run.</div><div><br></div><div>If you have any questions please contact me and/or Matt Gold. I can be reached at 212-460-5034 or by email. Matt's email is <a href="mailto:mattgold@gmail.com">mattgold@gmail.com</a> </div><div><br></div><div>The date on which we will hold the online election will be determined soon.</div><div><br></div><div>I've also scheduled a Zoom meeting for next Friday, June 19th, at 5pm. If you would like to chat about what is required of PTA officers. I hope you'll drop by!</div><div><br>Topic: PTA Elections<br>Time: Jun 19, 2020 05:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)<br><br>Join Zoom Meeting<br><a href="https://us04web.zoom.us/j/73439963579?pwd=ME1ieU5IQ2IzbzJzdmYyWEdDUmVsZz09">https://us04web.zoom.us/j/73439963579?pwd=ME1ieU5IQ2IzbzJzdmYyWEdDUmVsZz09</a><br><br>Meeting ID: 734 3996 3579<br>Password: 2cjpad<br></div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br></div><div>Peter</div><div>(Father of Cordelia in 3rd Grade and Volunteer on the nominating committee with Matt Gold)</div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>/*/<br>Pete Liem<br>Two Hundred and Twenty-Three "A", Monroe Street<br>Brooklyn, New York 11216<br>212.460.5034<br><br>Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail communication, and any attachments, contains confidential and privileged information for the exclusive use of the recipient(s) named above.
