Last Friday, SLCTA gathered to recognize the many years of service, and the dedication of these outstanding teachers. Here are a few pictures from our event. Congratulations, graduates!

Jenna Kelley received a SLCTA Scholarship for those entering the field of education. She will be attending Cuesta to start.

Thank you to all of our members and supporters that attended and played BINGO on March 1st. This year’s scholarship recipients will surely appreciate our community and purpose!

We also want to recognize our sponsors.

Hot Shots, Pismo Bowl, Pismo Fish & Chips, Ashtie’s Beach Shack, Sunset & Fairgrove Theaters

Update about funds raised will be shared very soon.

As the tenth annual SLCTA Bingo Scholarship Fundraiser approaches, we are asking for your help.  This event is being held on March 1st and raises scholarship funds to be awarded to local SLCUSD graduating high school seniors who are interested in pursuing a career in education.  Since 2007 we have proudly awarded scholarships to provide financial assistance to encourage the efforts to join our professions.

How can you help…

• A donation via our Go Fund Me account (https://gf.me/u/xifhkr)
• Unused gift cards that can be used as door prizes during Bingo (give to your Site Representative)
• Your support by attending the Bingo Scholarship Fundraiser.  Tickets can be purchased via our Eventbright account https://www.eventbrite.com/e/san-luis-coastal-teachers-association-bingo-scholarship-fundraiser-tickets-800050010117
• A donation by check payable to SLCTA  (PO Box 6299, Los Osos, CA, 93412-6299)

Doors open at 5:30 PM at the San Luis Obispo Grange No. 639 (formerly the Guild Hall) in San Luis Obispo.  We will have a reverse drawing, silent auction, live auction, free drinks, and free food by ZenDog 805.  After the bingo games have concluded, Emma Maness, a local teacher, will be teaching us a thing or two about dancing.

Please bring either cash, checks or Venmo for purchasing auction items, additional bingo cards, additional reverse drawing tickets and donations.  No credit cards accepted.

Thank you for your support, the students really appreciate the financial help.

Thanks for coming out to the first meetup, SLCTA. We had over 80 members join together to connect and enjoy a beverage and snack after another full week of great teaching. See you next time!
