## President's Note Sara Holland 972-394-7539 Yeah, the move is over!!!! I feel like I have been running at full speed for months. Now that that is done, I can't wait to sit back and start enjoying more activities with our PTA! I have missed my playgroup and other monthly activities I usually attend but have had to put on the back burner. Now is a great time to get out and about with all of the beautiful trees and flowers beginning to bloom. Spring is here! Thank you to everyone who came to our March meeting so that we could vote in our new Executive Board for 2002-2003. Congratulations to everyone on their new positions. I have included a list of the new officers in this newsletter and you will notice that there are still several positions open. Please consider being a part of our board for next year. It is a great way to become more involved, get to know everyone better and be in on the decision making process for our group. The more the merrier and we appreciate all of the help we can get. If you have any questions about an open position, please feel free to contact myself, Shannon Croft (our new President) or any other officer. Spring Conference is being held on April 20th this year (see following article for details). If you can attend, it is open to all PTA members. The conference is a great resource of information for our organization. One final note of thanks to Lee Trimble for putting on our Easter Egg Hunt this year. Thank you for all of your hard work in making sure our children had a wonderful time!
## 1st Vice President Alina Gaubert 972-402-8706 Just a reminder that our last regular board meeting will be on April 4th at 7:30 PM at McCoy Elementary. Our May board meeting will actually be the Old / New Board Member Dinner. It will be on May 2nd at 7 PM at Cristina's Mexican Restaurant in Addison. We will be having a fajita buffet similar to last year. Look for your invitation in the mail & be sure to RSVP as soon as possible. All 2001-2002 and new 2002-2003 Board Members are invited. It should be lots of fun & a nice way to celebrate the end of another CECPTA year! We will also be having a gift exchange at the conclusion of the dinner. So if you wish to participate, be sure to bring a wrapped $5 to $10 gift. Also, I am asking for a $5 contribution from each 2001-2002 board member for a gift of appreciation for Sara Holland. You can send me your contribution in the mail or give it to me sometime in April. Thanks to everyone!!!
## Programs April's General Meeting will be April 12th at Holy Covenant Church from 9:30-11:30am. This month's speaker will be Karen Eddy whose presentation will be "Discipline, but don't scream, spank or sit on the kids!". She is a registered nurse with over 20 years of experience in health care and has been a parent education consultant for over 10 years. Even if your children are all angels (which of course, ours all are), I imagine there will be a little something you can glean from her speech to make your life easier and home life more peaceful.
