SCAPT President’s Letter
January 10, 2008
Dear SCAPT Members,
I am writing on behalf of the SCAPT Board of Directors. It is time to think about becoming more active with SCAPT. SCAPT is in need of individual to assume the roles of a Secretary and Archives Chairperson. Each of you has something you could bring to SCAPT: passion for Play Therapy, organizational expertise, the desire to have a voice in the operation of SCAPT, enjoyment of being involved, or, simply, an interest in learning more about how a state-wide group conducts its business. If you share any of these attributes, please let us know right now, at the conference, or later after you have determined that you can help us out! The new Board begins its work as of February 15, 16, and 17th. Even if you don’t become an officer or committee chair, you are invited to attend our SCAPT board meetings. The next one is scheduled for Sunday, January 20, 2008 at 3:00 p.m. Contact Deborah Armstrong Hickey, SCAPT President-Elect, at 864-593-2752 if you plan to attend.
