EDGEMONT DISTRICT <strong>PTA</strong> JUNE 10, 2011<br />
Thank you to our Committee Chairs,<br />
from the <strong>PTA</strong> <strong>Presidents</strong><br />
By far the most important asset of the <strong>PTA</strong> is our volunteers and we want to give special<br />
recognition to those who accept the responsibility of chairing committees. Many of our committees are<br />
year round commitments that require much time, effort and dedication to remain successful.<br />
