Tell-A-Friend to join PTA at:  https://rcmspta.memberhub.com/store?limit=21&live=true

October is Membership Drive Month, and now is the time when we REALLY need YOUR help!  Let's make RCMS PTA special by making it a large and engaged membership. Yesterday we launched the October membership drive with our "Tell-A-Friend'' campaign. 

As we bring you some exciting events, we ask that you tell a friend and ask them to please join. Then tell that friend to tell a friend and ask them to please JOIN. Like you, they will become active advocates of our PTA and our community. Our ultimate goal is to get 100% participation from our RCMS families.  We are currently at 6.7% participation (an increase of 2.5% since last Monday).  If we can triple (3) that as a near term goal, we believe that we will be able to continue operating our RCMS PTA in that special manner. We have a long way to go but with each member participating in our Tell-A-Friend campaign that near term goal is in sight!

If you have any ideas with regard to membership or questions, please send an email to  rcmsptamembership@gmail.com.
