Robein PTO Meeting
September 20, 2004

President Kathy Polson called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. Terry Newlan moved to approve the minutes from the last meeting. There was as second by Nancy Vangunten. The motion carried.
The treasurer's report was looked over. Jackie moved to approve the treasurer's report, a second was made by Poleane. The motion carried.
Mrs. McLendon is the teacher representative this year. She asked if the PTO would purchase ink cartridges for the printers in the classrooms. They are around $25-$30 dollars, and need to be replaced. They have not been replaced for approximately 2 years. LeAnn Potts made a motion to spend $350 for ink cartridges. Stacy Sells made the second. The motion passed.
Mrs. McLendon questioned whether the PTO still paid $2 per student to go on field trips. She was told that it is still done. She related that Mrs. Bare needs 28 calculators at the cost of $14 per calculator. Terry made a motion that the PTO give $450 toward the purchase of the calculators. Debbie Ingold made the second. All were in favor.
October 5 is the date that the Robein Directories need to be finished so they can be sold at the Open House. Jackie is in charge of getting the directories together. Kathy said she would help also.
There was discussion on the craft sale. It was agreed that if we do have a craft sale it should be held in the fall, because it gives more time to prepare. Also it has been the case that in the past, a fall craft sale is much more successful than a spring craft sale.
Nancy reported on the playground committee activity and she had a picture of what had been chosen. Karen had some information about getting a discount from Little Tykes. Mr. Mueller already was working on getting a discount.
Committees-
Fund raiser- Terry needs help on September 30 with the fund raiser delivery at 8 a.m. and after school pick up that day. She also requested help on October 11 from 4-7 p.m. with money collecting and prize awarding. She sent sheets around for people to sign up to help on those times.
Any change in fund raisers (company or product) must be made before January. Terry suggested we offer Katheryn Beich candy bars in our concessions during games.
