Did you get the information on the first aid kits and photo collage mats at
our February meeting? If not, you can contact Nancy Foreman. We will collect
orders and money for these at the March General Meeting. Please make sure
each order form and envelope has a name on it. As you place your order,
keep in mind all the places a first aid kit might come in handy---grandparents'
homes, childcare providers, church, car, boat, office, or as a gift for a
friend. Several sizes and prices are available. A photo collage would make
a great gift for a grandparent or other fan of your children or to yourself.
The CECPTA will earn 40% profit on the sales of these items.
Thank you to Christine Pace for filling a last minute vacancy as our February
vendor. Christine showed us the newest and most popular items available from
Tupperware. In addition to donating the door prize, she donated 15% of her
profits that day and at her February 26 Open House to the CECPTA!
Our spring raffle, to be held at the May General meeting, will include a
complimentary weekend night stay at the North Dallas Holiday Inn Select, plus
free restaurant and movie certificates. Raffle tickets will be available at
$5 each at all General Meetings.
An artist will be creating silhouettes of our children at the April meeting.
Keep this in mind for Mother's and Father's Day presents. He will make two
at a time so you can keep one for yourself.
