New Business- Karen Bisi
The school is looking for some volunteers to meet in the gymnasium at 3:00pm on Friday to help decorate for the awards ceremony.
New Business- Sarah Martin
The state of N.C. PTSA is considering trying a pilot program for online membership at PCHS. We could still use paper membership forms yet the online process would cut down on work with us sending information to the state. They would send us a check each month instead of us writing them a monthly check. We would have access to the database. There would be a very small convenience charge which would be paid for by PTSA funds.
Motion was made by Michelle Lombana to participate in the pilot PTSA online membership program and seconded by Barbara Kelly. Motion was approved unamiously.
Meeting Adjourned at 8:30
