Legislative Focus Day - Olympia - Feb 20, 2012
The Urban Onion - 116 Legion Way, Olympia, WA 98501
Join us for Focus Day as we march and rally on the Capitol steps. PTA volunteer advocates can make a difference when they come to the Capitol in large numbers.
The key to Washington State PTA's successful advocacy is you, the member, so we hope you'll make plans to join us in Olympia on February 20, 2012, for our annual Focus Day. Schools will be closed on that day in observance Presidents' Day, so bring your children-it's a great opportunity for them to learn about state government, and their presence will serve to remind legislators where their focus should be as they wrestle with the state's budget problems
