WHAT IS THE COST AND REQUIREMENTS?
Cost:
The MECPTA's Membership year runs from September to August. The cost is $25. New members are welcome anytime throughout the year and membership dues are prorated according to the month.
Requirements:
The only requirement is that members contribute 10 volunteer hours for the year in order to sustain active status. Volunteer hours are very simple and easy to obtain.
Below are ways in which you can earn volunteer hours:
• Donating items (drinks, snacks, etc)- $3 item is equal to 1 hour
• Make Sunshine Meals for sick and expecting members- 5 hours
• Serve on a planning committee- 1 hour of volunteering is equal to 1 MECPTA hour
• Attend General Meetings- 1 hour per meeting
• Adopt a foster child's birthday- 5 hours
• Work an event or party- 1 hour of volunteering is equal to 1 MECPTA hour
Hour Incentive:
The MECPTA keeps track of the volunteer hours to comply with the regulations of the Ohio PTA. The purpose of this program is to encourage member involvement, to recognize dedication of its members, and to maintain a non-profit status. To thank our members for their volunteer hours, we host a Spa Night at the April General Meeting. At this event dozens of local businesses and salons set up booths and pamper our members with parafin hand dips, chair messages, eye brow waxing, hair extensions, hair styling, and much more. We also ask all participating businesses to raffle off a donated item. Members receive one raffle ticket for every five hours volunteered.
