Called to Order: PTA President
Pledge: With school over the intercom
Minutes: Tanya Huber motioned to approve minutes from September. Seconded by Patricia Wellisch.
Motioned passed.
Treasurer’s Report: Patricia
· Patricia Wellisch motioned to approve last year’s budget. Seconded by Tanya Huber. Motion passed.
· Majority of members approved the new budget. Patricia Wellisch motioned for approval. Pam Thomas seconded. Motion passed.
Membership: Jennifer and Pam
· We currently have 137 members with a few more to count. The drawing for three gift cards for parent members will be held today. The teacher drawing for one or two gift cards will be in 1-2 weeks.
· Every student who had someone sign up in their name will receive a pencil next week.
Public Relations: Tennisa
· The first newsletter was emailed out on Monday. We have about 280 email addresses currently.
· We would like to print our own membership envelops with only the information we need.
· We would like to set up the option to sign up for PTA online and have a credit card payment option.
· Any event information should be emailed to Mrs. McClure and those involved. This email should contain what help or supplies are needed.
Directory: Tennisa
· All information we have gathered has been entered into a spreadsheet. We need to send out one final push for information.
· After all the information is gathered, we need to print it for each family to check to be sure their information is correct.
· Tennisa would like to have the directory ready to publish by the end of October.
· The cost we were quoted is $3.25 per directory. That is more than we are collecting for the printing, so we need to check with Mrs. McClure to see where the extra funding will come from.
· Tennisa will talk to Rosecrest Elementary and see if we can get their template for the directory.
Book Fair: Jenny
· We deposited $3,460.18 from the bookfair, which is about $700 less than last year. The difference may be in the number of orders paid with credit cards. We should have that amount next week.
