Our first meeting was great! Thank you to Karen Christiansen for planning the games. They were a lot of fun and the members got to know each other a little better. The CECPTA off and running now! The Board and Special Interest Group Leaders spend time planning fun activities and outings for our members.

Plan on attending our annual Fall Fest on the 18th this month. Kids can wear their costumes while playing games and making treats! Check out all the info in this newsletter.

In November we will have our Silent Auction. We have already received many donations from local businesses (tickets, gift certificates, etc.) These items will be auctioned off during our November meeting. This is so much fun and you can get some excellent deals! Some of the best donations come from our members. Check your closets for any gifts or home decor that you haven't used often. Maybe put a few things together in a basket. You can get rid of it and help the PTA too! I know we have many talented members who can donate handmade gifts as well as baked goods. Please bring your donations to the October meeting. I'll
have a sign up sheet for baked goods.

I know there are plenty of wonderful activities planned for this month. I hope you'll try to attend as many as you can. It's the easiest way to get to know other members! The best resource parents have are each other.
