| Message from RPA President |
Greetings.
The Raskob Social is this Saturday, March 14, from 6:30-9:30 pm at the Oakland home of Wanda and Karl Cole-Frieman. If you would still like to attend and have not RSVP'd please do so by emailing Wanda at colefrieman@me.com. You can also check to see if there is anything that the hosts need for the party by clicking here. Although this is primarily a social event, there will be an opportunity to make donations for specific items identified by the Raskob faculty and administration that will enhance our students' experience, so please bring your checkbook or credit cards.
We have rescheduled our next RPA meeting for Friday, March 27from 8:30-9:30am in the California Room.
We hope that you are thinking about stepping into a board position for next year as the majority of our RPA board will be graduating with their eighth graders. Last week we profiled the VP of Communications, a job currently occupied by Bridget Rivezzo. This week we will profile the VP of Fundraising below. This job was unfilled this year, so I will answer questions about the position. You can contact me at rpapresident@gmail.com.
Best Regards,
Marianne
