SPOTLIGHT
It is with the deepest regret that Illinois PTA, will be canceling our annual SPOTLIGHT event scheduled for May 3, 2020 at Millikin University. Given the latest developments of the COVID-19 Virus Outbreak and the most recent recommendation by the Center for Disease Control, we must be mindful of the potential risks to our members and guests the event could have.
