Don’t forget, renewal forms are due to me this month! I need to have the information gathered and sent off to Austin by October 15th. (This was changed from October 1st.) The sooner I can collect the forms, the better! You may turn your form in to me at the October General Meeting on Friday October 10th. If you would like to have the form already filled out so that you won’t have to do it when you arrive for the meeting and your kids are hanging on you, you may find it in your July/August newsletter, or get the form from our website (www.cecpta.org), or email me a request at AJTurnerRN@aol.com. New Memberships are good through September 30, 2004. If this is your last year in the CECPTA, we will miss you! Your 2002-03 membership will expire on October 15th and October will be your last newsletter. Call me if you have any questions. Amy Turner – (972) 394-8787
