Minutes from June 2014

Here are the minutes from the PFC meeting in June:

­Introduction of PFC contact information: email, blog, and Facebook page.  There may already be one Facebook page set up.  Miklich will ask previous committee member to take down.

Vote in leadership.  Results: Co-presidents--Chuck & Lori Campbell, Vice-president-- Christie Fernquest, Treasurer--Debbie Martinez, Co-secretaries--Nikki Miklich & Arianne Evans.  Unanimous in favor.

Preparing for PFC registration next school year.  DIS is willing to collect funds that are turned in at school and keep in safe until they can be picked up.  Get PFC form ready to go in mass mailing to students before school begins.  Needs to be to secretary by 8/4/14.  On PFC form, include letter from president to parents, explaining why they should join PFC.

Vision for PFC.  Tutoring, electronic sign, snacks at dances, supplemental educational materials (books for underprivileged students and library), teacher appreciation events, dinner for staff during parent/teacher conferences.

Recruiting ideas: set up table at August 12 and August 26.  Have business cards and a bowl of candy to get the word out.  Evans will get business cards.  Martinez will get labels to go on candy.  Parents of 8th graders will serve at table on August 12--Campbell and Fernquest volunteer.  Set up table at 5:15 on August 26.  Plan to be there until 8 or 8:15.

Meeting times.  It is agreed to hold PFC meetings on the first Tuesday of each month, from 6-7:00 PM.   There will be no meeting in July.  Will meet again on August 5.

Fundraising ideas.  Last year they sold popcorn in November.  Leadership class did most of the work.  It is agreed to avoid fundraising around Christmas.  Fundraise in October/November or wait until spring.  Ideas for fundraising include selling coupon books (Entertainment Book or to local businesses) and  "Write a Check" campaign.  Members will research coupon book ideas for next meeting.  Discussion of ways to inform participants of proximity to monetary goals.

Electronic sign.  DIS would like to acquire an electronic sign that can be used to more easily post announcements in front of the school.  Would mount it on outside wall of multi-purpose room.  Two people are researching prices and varieties of reader boards.

PFC closet.  Some members will meet before August meeting to assess contents of closet in MP room.
