Local PTA/PTSA schools and members are encouraged to participate in community service projects.  Without your participation, these very worthwhile projects could not be successful.  When PTAs come together and support these council sponsored events, many benefit throughout Knox County.

Information about all projects can be found in the council guidebooks each president receives, in the council newsletter, and at General Meetings.

SPRING CLOTHING CENTER CLOTHING DRIVE - April 5-9, 2010
