[Kate Couzens Wakefield <kwakefield@SNET.NET>]

MANY thanks to:
Joni, Kimberly, Velda, Randi, Mary, Lynn, Megan, Anne, Deborah, Betsy,
Jeff, and Ellen who all responded to my question regarding Book Fairs and
the PTO. Here is a summary of the suggestions and the number of people who
responded with each:

 "...fight for the book fair." (3)

"Never, never fight with the PTO." (5)

"call the PTO president to
offer to help with the PTO fair." (Ask for funds for the library from the
PTO) (4)

"Instead I would plan for ..." (other type of fundraiser: candy, magazines,
read-a-thon, etc.) (4)

"the better fundraising activity... is for the
school district to accept and meet its responsibility..."(1)

If anyone would like the total HIT forwarded to them, please let me know
directly.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

of looking at things."-- Henry Miller (1891-1980), U.S. author.
