A special thank you was said to Brenda Wedgewood for her hard work and dedication to the tag sale!
October meeting minutes were accepted.
Brenda Wedgwood delivered the treasurer's report.
From May 2009 to December 2009 the PTC lost $229.00 in returned checks and paid out $187.50 in fees relating to those checks.
Brenda changed the type of bank account we have to lessen use fees but she wanted to know what if anything we can do about returned checks.
The PTC discussed this issue at length. Some ideas that were discussed are as follows:
PTC members discussed not holding on to personal checks for more than 10 days.
It was suggested that we look into making this PTC policy and place it in the bylaws.
All fundraising chairpeople should be made aware of this policy and get checks to Brenda within 10 days of receiving them. This was not voted on.
Could we write a notice to a person that had a check returned that they will be charged for the returned check fee?
Can we put a “cash is preferred” statement on fundraising materials? Another statement “Due to economic changes the PTC would prefer cash in lieu of checks.
In the end we decided that Brenda would speak to individual fundraising chairpeople about getting checks cashed within 10 days. Treasurer's Financial Report as of 12/30:
$2283. in checking
$2309 in a CD that will roll over in February
$2342 Francis Tuft CD that will Roll over in April
Line School T- Shirts only cost the PTC $711.23 thanks for many parent donations
Genevieve orders brought in $4423.21
The Tag Sale brought in $2550 Box Tops will be due on February 10th.
School Store Update:
Chris Dudley has started taking applications to work at the school store and is making a student schedule for workers.
The School store made a $293 deposit
Would like to start recycling Capri Sun pouches. There is a company you can send them to that will pay for them and recycle them into school supplies like pencil bags.
Can we make a Capri sun deposit box for the cafeteria? Kris Wescott motioned that we provide laminate for the school. The motion was seconded and the PTC will purchase the same amount of laminate that was purchased last year (at least 4 rolls).
Kris Wescott would like to take over Square 1 Art if the reason it is not being done is because there is no on interested in chairing it. Motion was made and seconded. Mrs. Wescott will chair this for 2010.
Chirstine DesVergnes discussed how Staples will give $3.00 in store credit per empty ink cartridge (up to 10 cartridges a month) returned. She is willing to take care of picking up the cartridges from the school and dropping them at Staples. This will go into an account for Line PTC at Staples to get credit for teachers.
Reminder that School Board meetings are every other Wednesday at 7PM and everyone is welcome. There are many changes going on in our schools due to budget cuts. Parent and community support is appreciated!
The question of cleaning up the PTC closet was raised. Can we have a running inventory? Brenda said she would look into it.
Polar Express as a great success. Thank you to all who put it on!
Anastasia Vermette was the winner of the monthly drawing.
Adjourned at 4:30 PM
