Heather reviewed the January PTO meeting minutes.

Treasurer Audrey reported that we had a refund from Kleinhen and paid out the remaining teacher stipends during January. We are currently $214 in the black for the year. The Father/Daughter dance money would be an additional source of revenue as well.

Father/Daughter Dance Melissa was unable to attend the meeting and Heather gave the report. Dance went great with about 500 people in attendance. The dance was moved to the gymnasium and it worked out wonderful. The photography went smoother this year and the food estimate was good as well. All of the comments received have been positive. We estimate the profit to be about $1000. WAY TO GO MELISSA! Thanks for all of your hard work.

Fall Fundraiser Heather will set-up a meeting with Dave Scott from Kleinhen to review the new brochures for 2011 and discuss fundraising options. She will advise of the date and time if anyone would like to attend.
