## Council Delegates

## Vendor Fair

The PTA Council is holding its annual Vendor Fair from 9 a.m. to noon April 6 at First Baptist Church on Josey Lane in Carrollton. Vendors at the fair include food companies, candle makers, gift companies, clothing manufacturers, etc. Come to taste free samples and to discover many fund-raising opportunities for your club, church, soccer team or school. Admittance is free. Many vendors say our fair is the best they attend each year!!!

## Clothes Closet

The PTA Clothes Closet is still seeking donations of gently used clothing for both sexes and all ages. The Closet has been busier than ever this year and has served at least 92 families this school year alone! The Closet especially needs jeans, school uniforms and new underwear. Please bring your donations to the next general PTA meeting, or call Kristin or Sounjalynne to arrange a pickup.
If you can help out (without kids) on a Monday morning, your volunteer hours would be greatly appreciated! Volunteers are needed to fold and sort clothes, and Spanish speakers may be asked to help translate for visiting clients. Families seeking free clothing at the Clothes Closet are referred by schools throughout CFBISD.
