[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you looking to get out of it? For most people, PTA isn’t a social thing (other than seeing friends who are also PTA), it’s work.  Your PTA president probably does far more than you realize, and may be cold only because she has her next 17 PTA tasks on her mind.  If you want to use the PTA as a means of meeting new people, join a committee for an activity you’re really interested in and start there.[/quote]

This. OP, you're new and don't know the president and I'm guessing saw the president in the context of some school event or at a meeting. Like PP says--mind on the many things to be done. PTA is there to support students, teachers and administration, and if the vibe is warm and fuzzy that's a great plus, but it's only that, a plus. Not an essential to get things done.

I've also seen a very friendly PTA where nothing got done....

Please go ahead and volunteer to do whatever you consider most valuable to the school and don't worry about whether you're received with what you think is adequate warmth etc. You're doing it for the students and teachers, via PTA--not for the PTA itself. [/quote]
