Hello OAFCS members, As you know if you attended our Annual Conference in March, OAFCS and OATFACS have jointly hired a marketing firm to help us develop and implement a communication plan to generate support for family and consumer sciences education and to recruit new teachers. A group of OATFACS teachers have volunteered to serve on a "Sit and Commit" Committee to help move this plan forward. I'm hoping that some of you will be able to join in that effort by attending the Sit and Commit meeting on Thursday, June 11. (Please see the details below.) I apologize for the late notice. If you are unable to attend, but would like to participate in the future, please let me know.

If you prefer to bring your own lunch, I need to know so I have an accurate meal count. Have $5.00 cash available for parking--sometimes it is not collected but it's best to be prepared just in case. You will need to bring your laptop or other device as you will be given a research assignment to begin. In the morning our work will be to develop an understanding of the public and private values of FCS, research to collect data that supports the public values of FCS, discuss ideas for best ways to share this information. In the afternoon Tom Speaks from the Impact Group, our marketing partner, will share with you the results of the work done this school year and how we can use this information to market FCS. The work from this day will be used to help formulate a plan on how we can bring every FCS teacher in Ohio on board with information and strategies for building a more positive image of FCS that strengthens our role in education across Ohio. Please take a moment and reply back by Saturday to confirm your attendance on Thursday and your lunch option. In case of any last minute issues, call my cell: 330.812.4336 See you soon!
