Lake Myra Elementary School PTA Meeting Minutes Thursday, October 1, 2009 Call to order: 5:23 Attendance: Felicia Woodard, Joni Bailey, Stacy Johnson, Shante Coleman The main topic of this meeting was the Fun Run. We are still looking for any type of donations. We have received donations from Dicks Sporting Goods, Tyrolf Auto, Brown Phillips Ins., BBT, Camelot Chiro, NC Aquarium, NC Zoo, Carolina hurricanes, membership to Lifestyle Family Fitness, Cakes to Rave about, Rudinos, Harvest Grain Bread Co. and Hair by Rosa. We are currently waiting for responses from Subway, Kidz stay and play, Best buy (hoping for a wii), area child care centers, Carolina Mudcats, and Durham Bulls. The pta will also be contacting the following business: Carolina Railhawks, Momma Mias, East Wake soccer, Little Gym, Riverwood Golf, Monkey Joes, Sylvan, YMCA, Wilmar Golf, movie theaters, Buffalo Lanes, Adventure Landing and Heathers Dance. If anyone knows anyone at these businesses or any other, please help us out. I have also attached a copy of our Fun Run flier. Swimmy’s Fun Run will be held on Nov. 12th. Each student is asked to raise money based on how many times they can run/walk around the track or flat fee. The money will be going towards the purchase of some awnings for the playground to provide much needed shade. We hope that each student can raise at least $25. If every student raised that amount, we would reach our school goal of $10,000. Please keep in mind this is our only fundraiser for this school year. We will not have any door to door sales of any kind. The pta has been contacting local businesses to help offset the cost of the fun run and t-shirts. If you or anyone you know would like to donate either money or a product, please contact clorenzanna@nc.rr.com. Silver donations of products/services will receive company name on a banner that will be displayed at the Fun Run, in the newsletter and Total Connection. Gold Level donations will receive in addition to the Silver level plus have the company name on the back of over 500+ school t-shirts. Platinum donations of $250 or more include having their name on a permanent plaque that will be hung in the front office plus the Gold and Silver benefits. All students participating will receive a t-shirt and a $10 gift card to Dick’s Sports. There will be different prizes awarded to students for various levels of fund raising. We will also love any volunteers that day. We will need parents to help put bands on student’s wrists as they make a lap, help with the snack/drink table, someone to play music, and sponsorship donations. Any help will greatly be appreciated even if for only 1 hour. We will be having a couple of meetings prior to the next official PTA meeting in November to discuss the Fun Run further. If you would like to attend we are meeting at Qdoba on Wed. 7th at 11:00 am and Momma Mia’s on Tuesday the 13th at 6. Meeting adjourned: 6:24 The next PTA meeting is 11/05/2009 at 5:00.
