Started the year out the same way. Made over 500 folders with PTO info, schedule, a wrist band gift to the children with our school name, a new newsletter and a universal volunteer form. Over 100 volunteer forms back and still counting. Now I have to figure out what to do with all these people. Thanks PTO TODAY!

WTG thats awesome. And yes, you should look at your meeting attendance! I do not know why everyone here is so against meeting attendance. I mean true, I would rather have all the volunteers for all the PTO's events, than a full meeting. But why not have both? I read the PTO Today mag religously and so much is about raising meeting attendance, yet everytime someone mentions attendance you hear"One note of caution: The real test won't be your general meeting. Don't get hung up on that. " The real test is across the board...
Increase in meeting attendance,
Increase in School participation
Increase in Volunteer participation
Increase in Morale and general relationship between School students and parents
New ideas, new volunteers, new attitude!

Those are factors for your real test

You go, you have the right idea focus and forward!

Hi Ange - Love your message. Keep it up!

One note of caution: The real test won't be your general meeting. Don't get hung up on that.

The real test will be the amount of volunteering/engagement you get throughout the year and the amount of great work you do for and community you build around your school.

If you get hardly anyone at your meetings but lots of new energy and connections in other ways -- great! That's OK.

Fabulous! We had our first meeting this week and someone stepped up to chair our book fairs, several people signed up for our various committees, and one new dad signed his name on everything, gave his phone number to the fundraising chair, and took the room parent spot for his daughter's classroom! We were thrilled.

Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.
