Dear PTA/PTSA President and Executive Board:

It’s that time of the year when your PTA/PTSA has the opportunity
to reflect on your accomplishments and share with the County
Council and other local units on a job well done.  

Miami-Dade County Council of PTAs/PTSAs will be hosting our
13th Annual Awards Recognition Ceremony and Vendors’ Fair at
Jungle Island on May 27, 2009.  The Awards Recognition
Ceremony is designed to recognize local units in their efforts to
further the mission, vision and values of PTA.  We have enclosed
the 2008-2009 Local Unit Awards Packet and encourage every
local unit to apply for any and all of the awards.  The ceremony is
also our opportunity to say “thank you” to the outgoing PTA/PTSA
presidents and executive boards for all you do.  

We have also included applications, such as the Student
Scholarship Award, for your unit to honor or memorialize
individuals and/or groups that have been instrumental in your
local unit’s achievements.  What a unique and wonderful way to
honor someone special and say “We appreciate and value you!”.

Please take the time to review the packet and complete the
forms.  No accomplishment is too small!  It is important to note the
deadline dates. They are as follows:
        PTA/PTSA Awards – May 15, 2009
        MDCC PTA/PTSA Grand Patron and Patron Awards
        Honorary Life Membership, Walk of Fame, and             
Achievement – May 15, 2009
        Student Scholarship Award – May 15, 2009

We look forward to receiving many applications and seeing
everyone at the ceremony on May 27, 2009.  You will receive the
event details in the near future so mark your calendars and plan
to attend.

Please contact us if you have questions or need further
information.  We can be reached at (305) 995-1102.

Sincerely,

Mindy Gould        
President
