| Scott Lingle (center), Center for Human Services talks to PTA leaders |
By Lisa Surowiec
On January 5, the Shoreline PTA Council held a Community Partners Meet and Greet for our PTA leaders to get to know some of our community partners.
We did something similar last year with a slightly different group of people at the table, and we decided to repeat the event. This year, rather than having the partners as a panel, we tried a "speed dating" scenario, with Presidents rotating to each organization for more personal connections.

The idea behind this event was to find common ground between our agencies. We would like to make our small community smaller, in that the more we can put faces to names and the more we understand our community resources, the better we can build bridges to support each other.
