PTAs to Honor Nearly 200 Individuals with Life Memberships

February 17, 2005

PTA members unlock the future, and Texas PTA Life Members are the “Keys to the Future.” That is the theme for the PTA Life Membership Banquet to be held at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 24, at Southfork Ranch.

The event’s featured speaker will be Nancy Barry of “The Dallas Morning News.” Honored guests will be the new Texas PTA Life Members (10k) who are receiving Honorary Texas PTA Life Memberships, one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon an individual by Texas PTA for outstanding contributions to the education of children and youth.

“The Extended Honor is for a person who has given 10 years or more to enhancing the education of youth,” said Ann Boswell, Plano ISD Council of PTAs, who noted that more than 160 recipients, chosen at their 65 local campuses, will be honored on the special evening. They will join more than 1,800 past honorees from Plano.

“It is the overwhelming collaboration between educators and families in Plano ISD that produces educated, prepared students, and enriches all of our lives,” said Ms. Boswell.
