Dear Trade Show Vendors and Attendees,
Due to the recent COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic escalation, and state of emergencies declared by the President of the United States and Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, the SCHTA board has moved to reschedule the 19th Annual SCHTA Trade Show to Wednesday May 27th, 2020. The format of the show will remain the same, the only thing changing at this time is the date. Your registrations for both the joint SCHTA breakfast meeting, and the trade show will be applied to the new date. If, for some reason, the new date is not conducive to your schedule please contact us as soon as possible.
We hope that you and your family are staying safe during this time.
Sincerely,
Chris Massie
SCHTA President
Christie Connatser, CHA, CHT

Pi Beta Phi Elementary School is raising funds to remodel their library. This library space has remained virtually untouched since this portion of the school was built in 1968. Their goal is to provide Pi Phi Kids with a beautiful space to enjoy reading and media so they may continue to thrive! Attached you will find a slideshow that outlines future plans for the library.
Their first fundraiser, Fantasy, Fairytales & Fables, will take place on February 28th at Ripley's Aquarium. Please see flyer below for details.
