Thanks Tim and Jcourt for the info. This is my first year with the PTO so I don't know what kind of money to expect from Box Tops. It seems like a pretty easy way to make money but our past fundraising coordinators haven't really run with it the way I think it could be done. I signed myself up as the coordinator for our school so I'm looking forward to getting lots of great info this weekend.
I went a few weeks ago to the one in Boston - It was great - Great giveaways - fabulous ideas that you can use for other things besides Box Tops.... Great for networking - some ladies had some really great ideas.
Also, people don't hold back so you heard the good with the bad -
It is also inspiring... you want to get your school involved as soon as you walk out the door
I've been, Lynn, and they are good. Usually 100+ in attendance so you get some good idea-sharing.
If you're the BoxTops coordinator for your school, then the BoxTops info you get can be really good. Lots of updates on what's coming up and tips on how groups are making the most $$.
And the ones I've attended have had good give-awys too. Which is always nice
