we are on the list to be included in the published copy of the Old Fashioned
Christmas in Bath flyer. Karen will add in the food donation detail for the CJ
article for Dec. 4. STUD is also advertised in the school newsletter as well as
the marquis out front. The banner we invested in last year has been patched up
and will be hung this week. We have also been plugging it on the PTA FB page.
As an investment for years to come Karen would like to invest in more signage
to put around town. Home Depot has some options that will stand up to the
weather and Lorna will check with Staples about a printing discount through her
business. Vote-All in Favor of investing up to $150 in signage-APPROVED

will run from Dec. 1-6. We will need volunteers and two would be useful during
the craft fair. We would like teacher’s to give us a wish list in case parents
want to donate a book to the classroom. 3-4 baskets will be made using
scholastic dollars for a raffle. We would like to give teachers scholastic
dollars ($5-10) to spend at the book fair.

in contact with Amazon and the IRS. She found out that it will take 8 weeks
