Curtin PTO Meeting Minutes

Curtin PTO Meeting Minutes

March 16, 2015

Meeting was called to order at 7:02 p.m. by President Missy Morrone.

There were 10 people in attendance.

Update/Fundraising:

·  Secretary and Treasurer’s Reports were reviewed and approved.

·  Wolfgang Candy Sale: Made around $5,000, but still under budget goal. Pick up candy on 3/18 after school until 4:30.

·  Book Fair: No financial report yet, but Michelle was pleased with the event even though we had bad weather throughout the week.

·  Box Tops: Made around $1,100. Talked of doing collections twice a year, with the possibility of another one this spring.

·  Assemblies: Our expenditure for assemblies has been less than we anticipated so hopefully that will help make up for our shortfall in fundraising. We would still like to get the High School Black Box Theater to come and preform at Curtin.
