May/June 2004

To the SEPTA community:

Carolyn Campbell, Paula Monahan, and Maura Campbell have concluded their terms and are pulling back from their active involvement on the SEPTA committee as they turn toward other aspects of their lives.  They are grateful for the opportunity to serve the community for the past few years.

Denise Palis has stepped forward to assume the chair position of SEPTA.  The committee has been operating with minimal parental participation in key roles for the past couple of years, and now needs people to take on these key roles.  At the very least, a treasurer is needed to manage what little money flow there would be.

At risk are these programs:

·        SEPTA Golf Tournament – an annual event that supports SEPTA’s scholarship program

·        SEPTA Scholarship – could exist for a few more years with the funds already in place, but its future is not secure

·        Outreach, including funds for Special Olympics and classroom programs

·        Staff Appreciation Award

·        Presentations

·        Sports – would continue, but would certainly change

Already lost this year were the SEPTA newsletter and additional presentations.

Please consider getting involved.  There are only two meetings scheduled for next year (September 15^th and May 18^th).  We want SEPTA to continue to bring quality programs and information to your lives – that cannot be done without your help.

You can call Denise at 671-2198 and Paula is available for questions about the treasurer position at 265-0501.
