King PTO

Attended:Jonathan Nolan, Nori Gale, Cath O’Connor

Discussion:

1. Recognizing that a number of interested people were missing, we nonetheless decided to go forward with the year end meeting.

2. Put off for the future any discussion of formalizing the “organization” as a PTO or otherwise, after some discussion of the pros and cons of an entity. At least for now, we will operate informally with the idea being to channel the energy we have into accomplishing something rather than forming an entity.

3. Congratulated ourselves (and all of you) on the success of our first fund-raising effort — the Nutcracker performance & a little bit to spare.

4. Jonathan will put together a mission statement and a “here we are” letter for distribution to the King community (via backpack and the King website or a link�on the King website). The letter will mention the Nutcracker success and highlight ways for parents to get involved at King: volunteer (contact Sue Carlson); participate in organizing or just attend the upcoming community building event and fund raiser, details forthcoming; or�donate money, hopefully towards a specific fundraising goal(s) — David Grant to provide some suggestions.
