October Minutes
President Shannon Croft
called the October General Meeting of the Carrollton Early Childhood PTA
to order at 9:56 a.m. with a quorum present on Friday, October 10, 2003,
and welcomed attendees. The minutes for the September General Meeting were
approved as printed in the October newsletter. President Shannon Croft reminded
everyone that we are still taking donations for the Silent Auction to take
place at our meeting on November 14, so everyone is asked to please try to
donate something to this fundraiser. Treasurer Lisa Rowell gave the Treasurer’s
Report: beginning balance on September 12, 2003, $1,172.78; deposits, $985.85;
disbursements, $1,055.67; ending balance as of October 9, 2003, $1,102.96.
She also mentioned that our new CECPTA T-shirts are still available for sale
at $10 each, including sales tax. Council Delegates Kristin Eoff and Sounjalynne
Mata passed out information about the C-FBISD bond election for which early
voting has already started. They also mentioned that a roundtable discussion
about school finance will be held next Wednesday in Richardson. Kristin and
Sounjalynne are taking donations of used clothes and books. They announced
the Used Book Sale will be held on February 19-22, and volunteers are needed.
The CECPTA is scheduled to work in the clothes closet on October 20. They
also announced that a Vendor Fair will be held on April 6. In addition, Kristin
told everyone that volunteer hours can help their children’s schools, so
those with school-age children should notify their schools of any volunteer
hours they work. Hospitality Chairperson Victoria Hubbard recognized those
attending for the first time and asked people willing to help with hospitality
to sign up. The winner of the Vendor Raffle from Sherri Robinson’s Jewelry
was Zita DeGraffenreid. President Shannon Croft announced that the activities
for the different groups were in the October newsletter and were listed on
the agenda. Barbara Brem mentioned that cards are available from Amy Turner
to send to the Texas Department of Transportation to report drivers with
unrestrained children; TxDoT will send a letter reminding them of the laws
without mention of the person who reported them. Lynn Chaffin from the C-FBISD
Board of Trustees gave information and fielded questions regarding the C-FBISD
bond election. Programs Chairperson Karen Christiansen introduced the speaker,
Leslie Wilson. She also awarded some of the materials she had available for
purchase in a drawing from submitted comment sheets: Laura Lucey and Trisha
Stephens both won CDs, and Dianna Talkington won a book. The meeting was
adjourned at 11:24 a.m.
Minutes Respectfully Submitted,
Dianna Talkington, CECPTA Secretary
