Have you seen the agenda?

We hope you're not busy on Thursday, because the PTA sure is.
In the meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 21, we'll hear from a representative of a company that organizes fundraising fun runs for schools.
The presentation will precede a review of the results of the PTA's Fall Fundraiser Survey, in which more than 120 parents and staff members shared their views on the product sales we've had in the past and several options the PTA might consider instead.
Ultimately, the PTA will vote on whether to continue with a product sale or change to another fundraiser. The decision is critical because the PTA relies on the Fall Fundraiser to generates about half the annual income that allows us to offer family nights, assemblies, after-school enrichment classes and more for our students.
Also, members will be called on to elect new officers -- a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer -- to serve on the executive committee for the 2011-12 school year.
A nominating committee last month recommended the following slate:

  • President: Judy Nagel-Conley
  • Vice President: Susan Corrigan
  • Treasurer: Beth Siwicki
  • Secretary: Christie Willhite

PTA members are eligible to nominate themselves for election during the meeting on Thursday.
The PTA executive committee realizes the meeting is at the beginning of a four-day weekend that includes a holiday for some families. Officers are considering a variety of ways to allow parents who are unable to attend the meeting in person to follow the meeting and participate. Stay tuned to the blog, the Facebook page and listserv email for updates.
Here's the full agenda:
