VI. Braided Bread Spring Fundraiser
· We voted to do this fundraiser again this year and try to have the bread delivered before Spring Break. It was proposed that we set up the schedule so the bread arrives by March 23rd.
· UPDATE: Our proposed schedule was approved on 2/7 by Success N Fudraising (the makers of braided bread) so we will operate on the following schedule:
Feb. 17th: Order forms mailed to us

Monday, Feb. 27- Wednesday, March 7th: Selling- the actual fundraiser

Friday, March 9th: Absolute deadline for order submissions

Thurs. or Friday, March 22nd or 23rd at 2pm: Product Delivery-March 23rd at 2pm CONFIRMED

VII. New Fundraising Ideas
· Most feedback from parents has leaned away from big selling projects with money leaving the community; we want to come up with more local, simple fundraisers with most money staying in the community.
· Caroline Rehder attended a fundraising webinar and got ideas for a whole year’s theme of “healthy choices”- a walk-a-thon, a run with an entry fee, a healthy choices cook book to sell for about $10, coordinate with Kitty Springer and the Healthy Eaters Club program.
· We are open to lots of ideas and input—we need you to MAKE IT GREAT!

VIII. T-Shirts and Yearbooks
· No Yearbooks this year
· Muffy is checking on Tshirts (prices, etc.)


THANKS FOR COMING! NEXT MEETING TUES MARCH 6 @ 5:30PM IN THE EASTSIDE LIBRARY (combined with Eastside PTO)
