## October Minutes

President Shannon Croft called the October General Meeting of the Carrollton Early Childhood PTA to order at 9:56 a.m. with a quorum present on Friday, October 10, 2003, and welcomed attendees. The minutes for the September General Meeting were approved as printed in the October newsletter. President Shannon Croft reminded everyone that we are still taking donations for the Silent Auction to take place at our meeting on November 14, so everyone is asked to please try to donate something to this fundraiser. Treasurer Lisa Rowell gave the Treasurer’s Report: beginning balance on September 12, 2003, $1,172.78; deposits, $985.85; disbursements, $1,055.67; ending balance as of October 9, 2003, $1,102.96. She also mentioned that our new CECPTA T-shirts are still available for sale at $10 each, including sales tax. Council Delegates Kristin Eoff and Sounjalynne Mata passed out information about the C-FBISD bond election for which early voting has already started. They also mentioned that a roundtable discussion about school finance will be held next Wednesday in Richardson. Kristin and Sounjalynne are taking donations of used clothes and books. They announced the Used Book Sale will be held on February 19-22, and volunteers are needed. The CECPTA is scheduled to work in the clothes closet on October 20. They also announced that a Vendor Fair will be held on April 6. In addition, Kristin told everyone that volunteer hours can help their children’s schools, so those with school-age children should notify their schools of any volunteer hours they work. Hospitality Chairperson Victoria Hubbard recognized those attending for the first time and asked people willing to help with hospitality to sign up. The winner of the Vendor Raffle from Sherri Robinson’s Jewelry was Zita DeGraffenreid. President Shannon Croft announced that the activities for the different groups were in the October newsletter and were listed on the agenda. Barbara Brem mentioned that cards are available from Amy Turner to send to the Texas Department of Transportation to report drivers with unrestrained children; TxDoT will send a letter reminding them of the laws without mention of the person who reported them. Lynn Chaffin from the C-FBISD Board of Trustees gave information and fielded questions regarding the C-FBISD bond election. Programs Chairperson Karen Christiansen introduced the speaker, Leslie Wilson. She also awarded some of the materials she had available for purchase in a drawing from submitted comment sheets: Laura Lucey and Trisha Stephens both won CDs, and Dianna Talkington won a book. The meeting was adjourned at 11:24 a.m.
Minutes Respectfully Submitted,
