Many thanks to Kim Ortiz for hosting the Pampered Chef Kitchen Fundraiser show on January 31st! We appreciate this fun opportunity to support the CECPTA while getting some great stuff for our kitchens. Kim is hosting the show at her house (1701 Elizabeth Dr.) at 7:00 p.m. Please try to attend since Pampered Chef will donate 15% of sales from the show 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 starting at our February general meeting.

Also this month, we will begin selling First Aid Kits. These should come in handy in your home, for friends, grandparents, childcare providers, at church, in the car, boat, office, etc. Several sizes and prices will be available.

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.
