please help, i need advise on how to move forward with our president. she seems to be on a power trip, and is very good at analyzing every subject but really doesn't get around to anything. The same excuse comes up "the irs doesn't allow this" (we are in the process of receiving our tax id number). The last straw was donations. Our group serves snacks at the various plays and musicals our drama club and music department puts on. We also have raffles with various items. And the money that we receive goes to the club that is performing that night. Well, I sent out a letter to the parents/staff asking if anyone owned a business etc. and would like to donate raffle prizes or if anyone would like to donate cookies or juice, or more importantly if anyone would like to help gather donations from local business. This is something I have been doing for 9 years. Well, our president, informed me i cannot ask business for donations because we do not have a receipt and the irs needs a receipt. I have letter head from the school and I draft a letter to the business. I was informed we cannot use the school resources such as letter head because we are own entity (sp?). And due to the fact we have to file taxes we must use our own resorces. :confused: Has anyone heard of this? I have been involved when we were a PTO than we switched to a PTA and now we are back (I am really glad) to a PTO. Have I been doing this wrong all these years? Do we really have to spend our hard earned money on letter head etc. Because if that is the case i am not volunteering any longer. I am in this for the children not to see my name on some letterhead.
