5. 2007-2008 Budget
a. Need invoices from the Secret Santa and Bazaar.
b. Administrative Expenses are high due to some NSF checks. Kelly is following up on them


6. Committee Reports
a. Publicity – Need to update bulletin boards. They will show pictures from the field trips taken this year and advertise the cookbook to sell.
b. Hospitality – Lara thanked everyone for the food donations at the bazaar
c. Campbell’s Soup Labels – Kamey Tippett will count the labels in January and review what we qualify to purchase. Need help in trimming and packaging labels.
d. Cookbook – Will send out flyers and emails to solicit sales


7. Fundraisers:
a. Jogathon for next Columbus Day. Pam Johnson to create a list of things needed for the jogathon. Two chairpersons needed to run the jogathon.
b. Longaberger basket bingo
Margie will review bylaws to see if it is feasible.
The main idea is to sell tickets (approx $20) which will give the individual entrance into the event (to be held at Dumfries Firehouse possibly) and three bingo cards. If they want to purchase additional cards, they would be available at the event. The prizes for each game would be a Longaberger basket which Pam Maples said she would give to us at her cost. We could sell refreshments and have a door raffle. If we are interested, Pam Maples agreed to review the entire program at the next PTCO meeting.
c. Margie suggested selling chocolate roses for Valentine’s Day. She will check with her previous school on vendor and cost.


8. Question was raised as to the status of the PattiePTCO.org website.


9. Meeting Adjourned at 7:50.


10. Next meeting on January 8 at 7 pm at Pattie Library.
