Dear Safe Schools Coalition Members and Friends:

Membership in Safe Schools Coalition - an update from the membership chair

Some of your agencies and schools belong -- or have belonged in the past -- to the Safe schools Coalition. Thank you so much; you are helping save people's lives. Others of you may have been loving the listserv without realizing that the awesome way to support it is by encouraging your organization (your GSA, your PFLAG chapter, your church, your government agency, your non-profit agency, your national or local club, fraternity, sorority or team, etc.) to join or to renew.

We really hope you will join or renew for 2011 if you have not already done so! We need you. As a true coalition, it is because of the work, inspiration and support of our members that we are together able to make schools safer for all students, families, teachers and staff.
 

Below is a list of Safe Schools Coalition memberships for 2011 paid as of 06-12-11. They are broken down by "paid" and "invoiced - not paid yet" -- if your organization isn't on either list it means either that your membership from previous years was not renewed in 2010 OR that your organization hasn't ever joined. Please think about rectifying that.

 
There are some in the paid list with an asterisk after the name and those are ones I need some information from. Please contact me - see below.

Those organizations which have not renewed for 2011 by July 29, 2011 will be taken off the Safe Schools Coalition's list of members on our website and on our letterhead. We would love to know, if you aren't renewing, why that is ... Did the one staff person who did safe schools work retire or graduate and move on?  Did we miss the boat on an issue that mattered to you? Did you just have a lot on your plate and it got buried in your in-box?
