From the President…
It is hard for me to believe, but this is my last Scoop article as the President of LECPTA. Whew--those two years flew by! Being part of LECPTA has been immensely
fulfilling and exciting for me and my family. We have met so many people who have
given us great joy and friendship. It is hard to go anywhere in Lakewood or nearby
communities without running into a fellow LECPTA member. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank LECPTA for the bounty of goodness it has bestowed on me and
my family.
To my predecessor and dear friend, Julie Derrick. You are such a remarkable person—genuine with no frills about you! Your guidance was so helpful to me in my
early months. And your easy-going manner and superb insight were tremendously
helpful to me. Thank you!
Thank you to Kim Pustulka, current Treasurer and incoming President. Your savvy
financial skills kept LECPTA in the black and you taught me how to spend smarter.
Your keen communication skills and sense of humor kept me smiling. I know LECPTA will continue to thrive in your exceptionally capable hands.
To my fellow Board members: thank you for the countless hours you give to LECPTA
day after day. Some say an organization is only as strong as its weakest link. We are
clearly a “beast” (as the young ones say today), as there is not a weak one among
us. I could not have asked for a better team of women and men to work alongside.
Thank you for your creativity and commitment!
Sometimes people ask me how much of my time LECPTA takes. Honestly, I cannot
say for sure. I do find myself driving around Lakewood a lot dropping items off at
houses and picking things up. I know virtually every street in Lakewood--even the
obscure ones. No Google mapping necessary for me! Whether it’s planning tours,
responding to emails, fielding interesting phone calls, or ordering tickets, LECPTA
kept me enjoyably engaged these past four years I was
on the Board. And it was not just me. I had my husINSIDE THIS ISSUE:

Hello Members!
As another membership year winds down I
would like to thank all the new members as well
as everyone who renewed their membership
this year. This organization is only successful
because of all of you!
I am transitioning to the 1st VP role, in charge of programs. If you have any
suggestions on programs or speakers that you would like to hear this year,
please email me at [email protected]. I welcome any suggestions.
I would like to thank Carrie Zdilla for all her help this year as well. She
tracked the membership hours for me and helped with anything I needed.
I couldn't have done it without her!
Also, I would like to welcome Erin Senney to the Membership role. Erin currently is the co-chair for our Meet the Trucks event and has been an active
member in the LECPTA. Please give her a warm welcome.
I hope everyone plans to attend our Meet the Trucks event and considers
earning some of the three annual required volunteer hours by signing up to
volunteer at the event.
I hope to see you out and about this month,
Deb Cox, Membership Chair

Family Status: I'm married to Chaz, and we have 3 beautiful and hilarious childrenEden (7), Elle (3) and Jude (1.5). My children would be upset if I didn't include our
pets as well- Two cats (Bitty and Nancy Reagan) and one hamster (Abraham Lincoln).
How did you come to join LECPTA? I was looking for a playgroup for my threeyear-old and someone suggested I join a PTA group. When I researched them,
Lakewood seemed to have the best activities!
Something interesting about you: I have a large Beatles memorabilia collection
and I play the Ukulele (sort of).
Three things you couldn’t live without: Peanut butter, hair gel, and my iPhone
(sadly).
Five words your best friend would use to describe you: I asked her and she said,

grandmother's ring.
Ideal Date: It would involve hiking and lots of food and wine.
Secret Crush: Don Draper
Guilty pleasures you hate to admit: I too often find myself jamming out to my seven-year-old's music.
What is your favorite place on earth? My favorite place that I visit regularly is David Fortier park in Olmsted Falls. It is very scenic and full of history. If you could do
anything (adventure): I'd go on a cross country trip in a bus with my friends. Cliche, I
know, but it does sound fun!
If you could travel anywhere (no budget) where would you go? Greece. I took
Ancient Greek in college and our professor was always showing us the most
amazing pictures of Greece.

As the end of the school year draws to a close, it’s time to say good bye and thank
you to those who have helped make 2013-2014 a great year for LECPTA. It truly
takes a village to make our organization successful so I’d like to offer up a great big
THANK YOU to those folks who have given time and effort to help all of our events,
meetings and programs. YOU ALL ROCK!
I would also like to thank everyone who helped me with programs and meetings this
year, especially Patty McLaughlin, Monica Kopecky, Deb Cox, Colleen de Boer and
Erin Senney. I’ve enjoyed getting to know everyone and contributing to this great group of
people! Next year, I am passing
the reins to Deb Cox who I know
will do a fantastic job. I’m off to
the Green Committee and Community Service positions, and
I’m super excited about it!
Now it’s time for my final event—LECPTA Annual Installation Dinner! Join us for a
celebration of all that has been accomplished in LECPTA this year. There will be a
delicious catered meal along with door prizes and plenty of conversation. This is a
great chance to thank our officers and committee chairs for all of their efforts over the
past year and congratulate those taking on leadership roles next year. Read more
about the dinner on the next page.
Installation will be held in the Ranger Cafe at Lakewood High School (at the corner
of Franklin and Bunts), on Wednesday, May 14, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. If you have
not received your evite to this event, please contact me. If you have received it,
please be sure to RSVP.
As a reminder there will be no monthly meetings until September. But there is still
tons of LECPTA events to plan for ahead. Save the date for annual Salad Supper
which will be held on Wednesday, August 13th at the Clifton Beach House. An Evite
will be sent via email sometime in mid summer with more information. Please make
sure we have your most current email on file so you are not left out of the loop.
On a final note, Happy Mother’s Day to all of you wonderful moms and may your
summer shine!

Installation Dinner FAQ
What is Installation Dinner?
It’s a year-end celebration of all that has been accomplished in LECPTA in the past membership
year, a chance to meet new friends and connect
with old. It’s a time we honor former leaders and
formally install our new leaders. It’s a chance to
have a delicious, catered meal with a great group
of people!
Who should attend Installation Dinner?
Everyone! Contrary to some misconceptions, Installation Dinner is not for officers
only. It is for all LECPTA members—new and old. If this is the first chance you will
have to attend an LECPTA function, we would be thrilled to have you come. And, if
you are an LECPTA regular, we are expecting you! Come and show your support for
our new leaders as they are installed into their new positions.
What happens at Installation Dinner?
Besides eating, drinking, door prizes, and other merriment, we install our new
leaders and recognize individuals nominated by their peers whose service to the
LECPTA has been exemplary in the past year. We will also present a life-time
achievement award to a deserving member who is aging out or ―sunsetting—in her
involvement and has made a significant contribution in service and leadership over a
sustained period of time.
What should I do if I want to attend?
Please RSVP to the evite you received. if you did not receive it, we may not have
your correct email on file so please contact me so I can update our database and get
one to you asap.
