Sorry I missed you! Agreed about communication. Maybe even "mass text
message". The other thing is- it's summer, people are busy and out of town.
Social media is another way to reach out.
Update on PTSO/ whatever we call it :Our original plan was to have the first
organizing meeting the same day as the board meeting, so we didn't mess up 2
Saturdays in August for people. It turns out that we are on vacation that week
( we get back the day after the meeting). I've already written the email and
sent it to Ben, Sherri knows about us needing a room. Should I call the
meeting for another day? Could someone else run the first meeting on the 23rd?
Thoughts?
