[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree - some schools do a great job of community building with family-focused events. Our current ES doesn't do any of that and I'm not sure where the money is actually going. I loved our old ES with it's welcome picnic, fall fair, and spring fling - it was so fun for the kids![/quote]

Right, family-focused events. OP's position is that any event that is not family focused should be for fundraising only, and that you shouldn't spend PTA funds on adult-only socializing. She's specifically saying the money should go to the kinds of events you are praising, since adults can get together and socialize without the PTA sponsoring the event.[/quote]

[b]Oh, her post was so long I merely skimmed it.[/b] Yes, I'm not sure what kind of events people are having that are adults only that aren't fundraisers. Our ES used to have a silent auction that was adults only but it raised a LOT of money for the school and all of the food, wine, and auction items were donated by local businesses.[/quote]

So you stuck your nose in without first actually reading what you were responding to. Weird.[/quote]
