## Council Delegates Ann Lee (972) 416-1180 Nancy Foreman (972) 862-1073 Be sure to check out the book sale announcement in this newsletter. Thanks to everyone who donated used books to benefit the CECPTA and the C-FB School District. At last count, our group has collected close to 400 books! If anyone else would like to donate used books, your last chance will be our February General Meeting. Drop them off with Nancy Foreman. Thank you to Sara Holland, Christine Pace, Lisa Rowell, and Bonny Tillman who have volunteered to work at the Book Sale. For every five workers the CECPTA provides, our group will receive $50 from proceeds of the sale. There will be another sign-up opportunity at our February General meeting. We continue to accept donations of gently used clothing for the PTA Clothes Closet. Blue jeans of all sizes, including adult, are in great demand.
## Hospitality Zita DeGraffenreid (972) 394-8177 Carol Hughes (972)378-4712 The holidays were fun but it's nice to be back in the normal swing of things. The January meeting at Holy Covenant went really well. Thank you to everyone that helped with setup and cleanup! At the February meeting we will be celebrating the National PTA birthday. We will have birthday cake and the usual prizes. Also, don't forget to signup to bring food to the March or April meeting. Check the signup books at the meeting. See you there!
## Programs Beth Blake-Hedges 972-492-1846 This month's speaker will be Renee Stivens who will be talking about "Protecting your Children from Toxic Chemicals". I know this sounds like ways to prevent your kids from playing in landfills (and I don't know about you but they aren't on our list of playgrounds), but actually she will tell us about the hazards of the chemicals we use every day in our homes, in cleaning supplies and personal care products. She isn't a salesman and isn't there to promote any products, but will tell us where we can get safer alternatives. I have seen several studies recently showing that exposure to some of the more hazardous chemicals in cleaning supplies in schools can lead to life-threatening allergies, so her presentation should be very helpful and may even save you future heartache.
## Playgroups Ann Lee 972-416-1180 I am trying to start some playgroups with the following birthdays: 98 kids, 99 kids, 2000 kids, and 2001 kids. I have had some interest in all of those groups but I need more to make the groups work! No specific playgroup dates have been established yet so that can be worked out with everyone in each group. Playgroups are a lot of fun and a great way for your kids to learn to interact with others their own age and for us moms to have a little adult interaction! Give me a call or e-mail me annlee@ont.com if you are interested! Thanks!
