[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, as a Board Member, there's no value in joining the PTA. Can't believe I'm saying this but it's true. You do not have to be a PTA member to volunteer, donate, participate in fundraisers, attend PTA events, attend PTA meetings, advocate for students and the school, etc. If a PTA directory is valuable for your family and if "voting" for whatever there is to vote for is important to you, then sure. If given a choice, I'd rather that families donate directly to the PTA instead of purchasing a membership. The reason I say this is that we have to pay MCCPTA and state membership dues (close to $5) for each member. We're at a low-income school and if I'm charging $10 for a membership, I have to give up 50% of that. I'd rather that parents volunteer and directly donate to us so that 100% of those donations go back directly to the school. Yup, in some ways, I hate the MCCPTA. [/quote]
