Once again we enjoyed great food and friends at the October meeting! We also learned some great parenting tips. Thank you to Sara Holland, Beth Blake-Hedges, and Shannon Croft for their help in setting up on Wednesday and to all that pitched in to clean up after the meeting. Thanks to all that brought the fantastic spread. You could come to the meetings for the food alone! We'll see you in November for the auction.

I need your help! I need to get brochures out to the
pediatrician's offices, ob/gyn's offices and preschools in the area.
If you would be willing to drop some off at your child's school or
your doctor's office, please let me know, especially if you have an
appointment coming up and will be at the doctor's office anyway; I
don't want anyone having to make an extra trip. I find that doctors
are much more willing to place brochures in their offices if a patient
asks, rather than if a stranger walks in and asks, so I really need
help in this concern. I can provide you with a brochure holder too
and as many brochures as you think you will need. Some schools let
us put a brochure in the backpack of each preschooler, which covers
a lot of potential members. If you can do that, let me know how many
students attend the school and I will provide you with as many brochures as you need.

Thank you to Nancy Foreman and Sara Holland for helping out last month
at the PTA Clothes Closet. So many families in the district benefit
from this service, I know their help was greatly appreciated by the
CFSISD Clothes Closet Coordinators.
Now it's time to start saving those books for the Council Book Fair.
They will take gently used hard back, paper back, children's books,
cook books, etc. This is a great project because our PTA will receive
$.05 per book we give them to sell. The dates of the sale are February
21-23, 2002 and it will be held at the Trinity Valley Shopping Center
(Target Shopping Center). There will be more information coming so stay
tuned and start saving those books you want to get rid of. You can
bring them to the meetings and Nancy and I will take them. Thanks!

All Around Dallas is going to Mommy and Me Mondays at the Dallas Arboretum
on Monday, November 5th. In addition to 20,000 beautiful chrysanthemums and a
10-ft tall pumpkin topiary, the arboretum also offers many activities
specifically for preschoolers. These include a trick-roping, yodeling
cowboy, a petting zoo, wagon rides, and crafts and face painting. Bring
your lunch (or purchase one there) and let's picnic, too!
For more information about the arboretum, go to
www.dallasarboretum.org.
If the weather is too cold on November 5th, I'll have an alternate
plan ready. Call or email me to sign up and we can decide on a time
to meet.
