Square 1 Art-
Mrs. Devin is beginning preparation to have all WCS students create a piece of
art to be put on a number of fun items (coffee mugs, clothing, wall art,
stationary, etc) We will plan for the
items to be delivered just before Mother’s Day.
Close Buy-We had
no major issues with this fundraisers.
We had one order not received that was quickly shipped by Close Buy so
the person got it in time for Christmas.
One person had an issue accessing their Winter Kid pass but it was
easily solved. We will review the
catalog in the Spring and make a decision regarding using this company again
next Fall. We would like to get the
display items for a longer period if possible.
Wellness- Weather
conditions (freeze, snow, melt & slush) have prevented the ice rink opening. Beth Harrington is hoping to have it flooded
again and have it ready soon for a community opening. Beth also received a grant from Fuel Up To
Play in the amount $2750 that she plans to buy a smoothie machine and some
playground material.
Bylaws-The PTA
board will plan to go over the Bylaws and amendments to the bylaws which
clarify timing of the annual audit. Membership will receive a copy of the
proposed amendments for a vote at the February meeting.
Non-Profit Status-Dena
and Lorna continue to check up with the IRS to see if we are recognized as
being reinstated online. This needs to
show up online for Amazon to recognize us as a 501c3 organization to sign up
for Amazon Smile program. We know we are
in compliance but the monumental backlog at IRS is prohibiting recognition
online.
