Below is an invitation to the Delaware State PTA conference on Saturday April 28th, At St. George’s Tech High School in Middletown, DE, where the PTA  will recognize the work done by Beau, specifically for his legislative accomplishments in anti-bullying and protecting children from predators. 

I have attended this event in previous years and have been invited this year as well; there are generally 40-60 people in attendance. 
We wanted to pass it on as an award will be presented and we thought it may be of interest  to the Family if someone is in the Middletown, DE area that day.  

Please contact me with any questions. 

Best—
Patty

>> Hello Josh,
>> My name is Yvonne Johnson and I am the immediate past president of Delaware PTA.I currently serve both on the State PTA and the National PTA.
>> When I was president of Delaware PTA 2011-13, Delaware PTA worked very closely with Beau Biden and Matt Denn (then Lt Governor) to put some laws into place to protect children specifically anti bullying laws such as mandatory reporting from school districts and requiring the ombudsman to be listed on every school district's website.
>> On April 28, 2018 Dr. Terri Hodges ( current President  Delaware PTA 2013 -2018) and I will be honoring Matt Denn for all his work protecting children. With Matt leaving public service ,we have decided to recognize him at this upcoming convention. We want to recognize and honor Beau Biden, as well. 
>> I cannot tell you how much Beau did to help us get these laws into place. We will be awarding Beau posthumously. All that said, I wanted to ask if you could get a message to Jill and Joe Biden. We want to extend an invitation to them to come to our Convention to accept the award on Beau's behalf.
>> I got your contact information from Matt. He said you are in close contact with The Biden Family. I have also asked Patty Daly Lewis to join us at the Convention.
>> It was a joint effort from all of these folks. As you know protecting children from bullies, predators, and any other egregiuos acts, is a priority for our association. PTA has a variety of positions statements and resolutions for us to use in our advocacy work on behalf of all children. Working with both Matt and Beau was very rewarding. We absolutely could not have done it without them.
>> Additionally, a tribute from both The  Delaware House and Senate Education Committee Chairs will be presented to both Matt and Beau( posthumously).
>> We would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide to invite The Bidens.
>> The details are as follows:
>> Delaware PTA Convention will be held at St Georges Tech High School

>> We plan to do our awards and recognitions at 3:30 pm.
