Friday, November 1

in the Faculty Room

Let's get together for a celebration of our solidarity and unity.  We'll have bagels, muffins, coffee, collegiality, and friendship.  

November 1 is the 26th anniversary of the Bronxville Teachers' Association affiliation with NYSUT and AFT.  

Thank you, Megan Figueroa, for your organization of this year's breakfasts.

Dear Fellow BTA Members,

After school today, your BTA audit committee met to examine my records for the fiscal year 2012-2013.  Their dedication and hard work for 90 minutes after a long school day deserves all of our thanks!  When you see Beth Agarabi, Victor Maxwell, Bob Devlin, Regina O'Dwyer, Joyce Myers, and Gene Orsenigo, please let them know that you appreciate their work on your behalf.  A report of their findings is in the works, and will be presented first to the executive council in November, and then to the general membership.  I hope you will take the time to see that your BTA dues are carefully spent and accounted for, as they did today.

Today, a team of BTA members will gather in Chuck Yochim's room to perform a very important audit of our BTA finances.  As a result of schedule conflicts, there may be room for one or two more BTA members.  Let Chuck know if you are available to spend some time with us after school today.  

Thank you.

Thank you to all of those who attended the recent liaison meetings in each school hosted by Maryellen, Joyce, and Patrick.  

And thank you to Maryellen, Joyce, and Patrick for hosting these valuable, productive meetings.

Chuck Yochim, Julia Brogan, and Donna Bianco representing the BTA and supporting the Making Strides Walk at Manhattanville College.  Nice shirts, too!

If you are interested in being on a parking task force, please let me know.  

The new shipment of BTA tote bags has arrived!  If you are interested, we're selling them for $5.00 apiece.

Just let me know.  Delivery is included.

Thanks to Mandy Gersten, there is now a new microwave oven in the teachers' room.

Eva Cieloszyk found a kitten and asked that I share this with you:



Kitten For Adoption!!!

  Help find a home for a beautiful kitten.

She is playful, sweet and loves to snuggle.
