COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Boy Holiday Coin Drive – As of today, we have collected close to $1200. We still need to count the money collected from the Intermediate building. Does anyone want to help count money next Tuesday morning from 9:00 to 11:00 am at Little Bighorn Bank? The PTA also needs to decide the parameters for the family donations. We decided that the families need to live in Lockwood. How much are we going to give each family? We decided to divide the total amount of money raised by the total number of kids to determine how much each family would receive. There are several businesses and community members who would like to adopt a family. We decided to choose the families with the greatest need for adoption. We will write the thank-you notes to the businesses and individuals after Christmas. Lacy will write a letter to the Billings Gazette thanking the businesses for the generous donations to the Holiday Coin Drive.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

Standing Rules/Bylaws – We will look at the standing rules and bylaws next month.

Girl Drawing Silent Auction/Family Fun Night – The PTA needs help moving baskets from the Family Resource room to the lunchroom. Anyone interested in helping set up the baskets can show up at 5:00 pm. The Family Resource Center also needs 12 dozen cupcakes for Family Fun Night. Any cupcake donations would be greatly appreciated. You can drop off the cupcakes at the Family Resource Center beforehand or bring them to Family Fun Night.

I Love to Read Month – We will discuss this project at the January meeting.

T-Shirts – We will discuss this project at the January meeting.

NEW BUSINESS:

Fundraising Information – Shauna Ashhere mentioned a fundraising idea involving books of stamps to decorate. The book of stamps cost $20 and the Child Drawing PTA would receive $5 from each book sold.

NEXT MEETING: The next meeting will be January 8, 2007 at 7:00 pm in the cafeteria.

ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 7:35 pm.
