[quote=Anonymous][quote]I did not want to run after people to get money from them, so I made sure that all the funds were collected during the first few weeks of school. I sent emails every week for the first few weeks listing the names of people who contributed and those who still had to. It was easy to write the reminder emails at the beginning of the year.

OP, being a room parent is a responsibility not a popularity contest. You need to be blunt and make sure that everyone contributes at least a minimum agreed upon amount. If people want to contribute more it is up to them, but the fixed amount contribution is mandatory.[/quote]

This is horrible beyond words and, fortunately, this never would be permitted to do this at my kids' schools.  Contributions are voluntary and anonymous unless the parent pays be check.  The money is put in an envelope with the room parent's name on it only.  This is a much better system.  People who can't afford it, people whose kids don't participate for religious or other reasons, and people who choose not to give for their own reasons should not be bullied.[/quote]
