Today, January 16th, is MLK Jr. Day, A Day of Service. We’re Grateful for Your Service.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is now often observed as a Day of Service
As a part of this day and observance, we would like to thank YOU, our PTA volunteers, who give great service to your communities. The King Center writes that “Dr. King is widely regarded as America’s preeminent advocate of nonviolence and one of the greatest nonviolent leaders in world history.” We hope you will find a way to help your community gather and serve on this special day.

California State PTA has Visual Identity and PTA Logo Resources to make your life easier.
Visual clues are often the easiest way for people to recognize a product or organization that they trust. Think about the brands you regularly buy. Whenever you purchase clothing, food or toys, the company’s logo on the package represents all that you may like or dislike about the products you buy. An organization’s logo does the same thing.
PTA has established guidelines for the proper use of the PTA name, logo, and tagline (everychild.onevoice). When used properly, PTA’s logo and tagline create a consistent message, help unify all PTAs, and sets PTA apart from the competition. Learn More

e-Membership/Totem Tip of the Week!
Get comfortable with your Online Totem Reports, this will help you provide up-to-date membership lists for the Nominating Committee and to your board for General Association Meetings! Leaders have access to a variety of reports. Leaders may see different available reports depending on the features the association has enabled the leaders’ and permission levels within the organization, for example, a District PTA would see Councils and Units but a Unit PTA would only see their own report. You can access the list of available reports from the leader Reports menu.
