TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY in the 2009-2010 Fair Share drive, TASP is currently at 106%.  However, our SAEOPP Family is currently at 91% and needing over $56,000 to meet our Fair Share goal for 2010!  COE is currently at 94% and needs almost $185,000 to reach the overall Fair Share goal!  While both of these numbers seem overwhelming, every dollar counts!  SAEOPP and COE need our help now more than ever!  President Celeste Brooks (SAEOPP) and COE Board Chair Deborah Northcross, both TASPians, need our help!

As with before, please do not forget about the amazing Institutional Membership deal available for institutions with IMs expiring between July 1 and December 31, 2010.  Also please do not forget about the challenge for Personal Contributions.  In this category, we are at $8,901.58.  If TASP as a state-wide family can raise $9,500, our president will shave his head for the TASP/KAEOPP Fall Conference (which is only $598.42 - WE CAN DO THIS) !

Institutional Membership:

Do you have an institutional membership that expires July 1 through December 31, 2010? If so, I have good news for you! COE is excited to offer a $400 discount to those institutions that fall within the date range above! To qualify for this discount, you must pay your institutional membership no later than June 30th, 2010. In TASP we have 8 institutions that qualify for this added discount. If you have any questions about your institution's membership status, please do not hesitate to contact Jeanne Stokes at (jstokes@tusculum.edu).

Also, do not forget about the EOC/ETS grant writing workshops that are coming up THIS YEAR that are available only to Institutional Members. For more details, please visit http://www.tasptrio.org/docs/10.05.10.PWWEOCTSflyerfinal.pdf

Personal Contributions:

One way that every single one of us can help is through personal contributions! $5 - No Problem! $10 - No Problem! Become a champion ($1000) - fabulous!!!

In personal contributions we are at $8,901.58. Last year, our final amount for personal contributions was $7,710.08. So the President of TASP has issued a challenge. If we as an Association can reach a personal contributions amount of $9,500, our president will shave his head for the Annual TASP/KAEOPP Joint Conference (in Gatlinburg, TN on October 20th-22nd - make plans now to attend).To make your contribution, simply visit http://www.coenet.us and click on the "Donate Online" link.
