Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a joyous and happy holiday season. We stayed at home this year and had a wonderful time with our boys. Thanks to Zita, Carol and Beth for the great job they did on the December brunch and to everyone for bringing such wonderful goodies. Our January General Meeting will not only find us at our new meeting location but will also be time to start planning our Board for next year. Serving on the board is a great way to become involved in our organization and to get to know each other better. In March, the general membership will elect officers and fill chairperson positions for the May 2002-2003 year. You will find an officer interest form in this edition of the newsletter as well as copies at the general meetings. We need members (returning and NEW) to fill 23 Board and 9 special interest groups positions. If you have any questions, just ask a current board member for information and they will be happy to assist you. Please return the form to me by the February meeting by either mail: 3107 Honeydew Drive, Carrollton, TX 75007, email: Saraemail@aol.com, or in person. Please seriously consider becoming a member of the Board. We have a great time and need everyone's help to make the CECPTA the best it can be!

This month we will be making a craft for our program, rather than listening to a speaker, and I hope you all come, I think it will be lots of fun. Since we have changed our meeting date and location, I have had a little trouble rebooking some speakers, particularly the one scheduled for January. I know many members expressed a great interest in hearing Maria Mitchell speak about efficient house cleaning and I want to assure you that Elizabeth Whittaker, our Parent Education director, is working on booking Maria as one of her presenters instead (Maria is not available on Fridays), so look for that. That being said, let me tell you about the meeting in January. We will all be decorating a patriotic shirt (without interruption from our children,who will be in the nursery----YAY!!!!) during our meeting time. If you are interested, bring a clean white t-shirt to decorate and a rectangle of cardboard to use as a shirt form, or if you don't have cardboard, a brown paper bag will work as well. If you have red, white or blue fabric paint, please bring that too; the PTA will supply the fabric we will be using as appliques.
