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.
