Can't Make It To a Meeting? Replay It Online!
Parents who can’t make it to PTA meetings at three Staten Island, N.Y., schools will soon be able to catch the proceedings online. Thanks to a funding allocation from the area’s city council representative, the meetings will be broadcast live and recorded for replay online. Parents won’t be able to participate in the meetings online, but they will be able to watch or replay them later.
Weekly Q: Should Website Guidelines & Procedures be Added to Bylaws?

My Tip of the Week: Help a Struggling Volunteer
It happens in every group. One of your key volunteers, probably a great person, just isn't very organized. How do you make sure her responsibilities get done without creating all kinds of drama and bad blood? It's tricky, but it's possible.
