[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:27 - then go organize a fun run.  You are probably one of those people that loves to complain and bash the PTA, but actually does nothing to help a school.   I loathe you, 10:27.[/quote]

How would I have been at the meeting if I wasn't on a committee?  I am on several by the way and have been on the board and fundraising in a previous years.  There is no way previous boards would have agreed to this.   This was already a done deal by a smaller committee when presented and as soon as parents started speaking out against it saying they rather just write a check to the school or run a smaller school run, the volunteers (who do most of the work to help this for-profit company to make thousands) got extremely upset and said this won't work or make money unless we are all in this together and really push the kids together.  They already spent a few thousand dollars to "retain" them and all the kids need to buy the t-shirts for $3.

But yes, go ahead and flame me and not the Boosterthon company.  I guess I should be like everyone else and sit back and write a check so my son can have a t-shirt and win some plastic prizes.  Would that make you feel better? [/quote]
