Committee Reports
Each committee chair should have a report each meeting.
Concessions. Adriane will ask for a report early if Wendy cannot make meetings.  There should be a spreadsheet of entries for purchases and sales of concessions.  PFK is looking at setting up guidelines for concessions.  Wendy is doing a great job but there is a lot of personal time on her part.  Debbie read a statement that she wrote on issues with purchases/delivery/time/monies(cash)/consistency, all concerning concessions. Asked for other comments.  No guidelines were ever written in by-laws for a procedure.  Jamie suggested handling one issue at a time.  This meeting we voted on buying items for concessions from PFK established vendors only and not using cash.  All agreed, none opposed.
Special Events. Christy said that Jennifer started the box top contest. Diana mentioned that 3rd graders received treats for October Campbell Soup labels.  There are still several labels in the office.   Notices were sent out for box tops and Campbell labels.
Fundraisers. Tammy spoke on the Chili Supper donation letter and notices for the raffle.  Tammy asked for suggestions.  Trying to organize for ½ hour volunteers.  Discussion on how the chili supper was organized and how/when/where we need volunteers and making phone calls.  Mr.Prinz suggested that on a night where there is are activities at school closer to the chili supper, have a welcoming table to have parents sign-up.  
Hospitality. Adriane has nothing to report.
Social. Candi and Ann have nothing to report.
Upcoming Events
Secret Santa is scheduled for December 1 & 2 which is Thurs and Friday. Lori Davis spoke about event.  Looking for 6 volunteers per day.  
Wish List items for the holidays.  Discussion on confidentiality.  Who to chooses, how to choose by age, gender, etc.  Mr. Prinz said that we could work with the school office to help make it happen.  Will discuss further later. 
New Items
PFK Funds request form.  The form will be given to all the staff for request of funds.  All items will be considered.  Stated in the by-laws the administration needs to see the request to make sure it is an appropriate expense for the school.  The teacher may make a copy and give one to the office and one to PFK but administration needs to sign off on it. 
Debbie spoke about water bottle program.  Schools have them with their school logos.  The labels are produced on Five Star Water products and Newman Ullman delivers.
Directories are done.  Lauri was going to ask Mrs.Thompson class to help with the assembly of them.   Lauri did a great job and has spent lots of time on it.  Tammy will send a thank you from PFK.  Debbie spoke about having a table at registration just for the directory to help with the filling out of forms.   Discussed putting directory on web-site.  It will not be on the web-site.
Agreed that the discussion on plaques and a PFK design will be moved to March.
