Be sure to check out the book sale announcement in this newsletter. Thanks
to everyone who donated used books to benefit the CECPTA and the C-FB School
District. At last count, our group has collected close to 400 books! If
anyone else would like to donate used books, your last chance will be our
February General Meeting. Drop them off with Nancy Foreman.
Thank you to Sara Holland, Christine Pace, Lisa Rowell, and Bonny Tillman who
have volunteered to work at the Book Sale. For every five workers the CECPTA
provides, our group will receive $50 from proceeds of the sale. There will
be another sign-up opportunity at our February General meeting.
We continue to accept donations of gently used clothing for the PTA Clothes
Closet. Blue jeans of all sizes, including adult, are in great demand.

The holidays were fun but it's nice to be back in the normal swing of things.
The January meeting at Holy Covenant went really well. Thank you to everyone
that helped with setup and cleanup! At the February meeting we will be
celebrating the National PTA birthday. We will have birthday cake and the
usual prizes. Also, don't forget to signup to bring food to the March or
April meeting. Check the signup books at the meeting. See you there!

This month's speaker will be Renee Stivens who will be talking about
"Protecting your Children from Toxic Chemicals". I know this sounds like
ways to prevent your kids from playing in landfills (and I don't know about
you but they aren't on our list of playgrounds), but actually she will tell
us about the hazards of the chemicals we use every day in our homes, in
cleaning supplies and personal care products. She isn't a salesman and isn't
there to promote any products, but will tell us where we can get safer
alternatives. I have seen several studies recently showing that exposure to
some of the more hazardous chemicals in cleaning supplies in schools can lead
to life-threatening allergies, so her presentation should be very helpful and
may even save you future heartache.

Playgroups
Ann Lee

I am trying to start some playgroups with the following birthdays: 98 kids,
99 kids, 2000 kids, and 2001 kids. I have had some interest in all of those
groups but I need more to make the groups work! No specific playgroup dates
have been established yet so that can be worked out with everyone in each
group. Playgroups are a lot of fun and a great way for your kids to learn to
interact with others their own age and for us moms to have a little adult
interaction! Give me a call or e-mail me
annlee@ont.com if you are interested! Thanks!
