Social Ordinance Order
As we prepare for a new school year, the County of Marin and the County Office of Education want to encourage all school and parent organizations to share the attached information concerning the Marin County Social Host Ordinance. This law is an effort to reduce youth access to alcohol in private homes and includes consequences for homeowners who host social events where under-aged youth are drinking alcohol - whether or not adults are present.
The information attached is intended to inform and raise awareness. Please consider distributing the information as widely as possible among your parent groups.
Thank you,

URGENT!
CHAIR(S) FOR BLACK AND GOLD AUCTION NEEDED!
(PEOPLE, NOT FURNITURE!)
|
Do you love getting together with your friends and other parents to support Novato High School?
Do you want NHS PTSA to continue offering amazing programs like after school tutoring, scholarships, and classroom support?
Do you want NHS PTSA to continue to offer excellent resources such as the newly renovated library and other campus improvements?
The monies raised at the Black and Gold Auction are critical to funding the events and programs PTSA supports at NHS and we need your help!
Please consider helping the PTSA with this very important and special event. We are envisioning a fun evening with dinner, a small silent auction, an exciting Fund a Need opportunity and an assortment of exclusive Pay to Play signups. Much of the groundwork has already been laid - we already have a strong team of experienced committee volunteers, as well as the site, an emcee, and entertainment. Our past chair has even graciously made herself available for consultation. We just need a new leader to step up (or leaders - grab a friend to help!) You could be the person to ensure this is another magical and memorable event and to help PTSA continue its programs for the year. Contact Beth DeWitt, PTSA President at
or 415/234-6899 to start the conversation and make a difference in your high school community!
