## Fundraising Continued...

Door Prizes
At each general meeting we have a vendor, a person there to sell great products and who donates an item to be drawn as the door prize. Tickets can be purchased at meetings @ 3 for $1.

Grocery Cards
You can support the CECPTA for free while buying your groceries! If you shop at Albertson's, Kroger, or Tom Thumb and use these grocery cards, a portion of the amount of your purchase will be donated to the CECPTA. Pick up your grocery cards at the September or any general meeting.

Shopping the Web
Do you prefer to skip the driving and crowds by shopping on the web? There are two websites that you can go through to buy from your favorite online merchants while having a portion donated to the CECPTA! Log on to either www.schoolpop.com or www.schoolcash.com. Participating merchants and the percentages of sales each donates to the CECPTA vary. Add both sites to your "favorites" list and use them whenever you shop the web!

"Can't I Just Skip the Fundraisers and Donate Directly to CECPTA?"
If you're someone who doesn't have time for, or dislikes fundraisers, you and/or your family can donate to the CECPTA directly and get off "guilt free" A $65 check will cover your share of fundraising for the year! Larger and smaller donations are also welcome.

## Membership Beth Blake-Hedges 972-492-1846 Welcome back to another great year with the CECPTA (or if you're a new member: welcome to the PTA!) I have lots of plans for increasing membership this year including: membership coffees/open houses at the library in August and September, the Pepsi Kidaround in October, and thanks to Nancy Foreman & Peggy Epley in fundraising, we will be promoting our PTA at a fundraiser in November at Zany Brainy. There is a 2001-2002 membership application in this issue of the newsletter, so if you haven't renewed yet, here's your chance. And as always, we'll be distributing brochures throughout the area, to doctors offices and preschools, so if you can help, please let me know.
## Programs Beth Blake-Hedges 972-492-1846 September's meeting is always so hectic, what with everyone getting back together after the summer, and all the business we have to vote on, that I decided to do what we did last year and have a mixer instead of a speaker. Alina has a great getting-to-know-you game for everyone and we will have food and drinks to start and then pass out the game. After we have mingled and played our game, then we'll start the business portion of the meeting and "fulfill our PTA duties". This will be a nice way to ease into the year, get to know each other better and accomplish some important PTA business. See you there!
