Plano/Collin County Local League Studies for 2012-2013

In the League, program planning has a special meaning.  This process generates study ideas at the grass roots level and results in adopting one or more studies at a League convention.  Each study group welcomes and needs participation of all members.  Please contact  Vice President for Programs (Mary Alice Garza) to let her know your interest in participating.

The local league adopted the following studies for 2012-2013.
