[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Westland uses AtoZ directories.  A to Z directories sell advertising and they cover the entire cost of printing the directories and PTA's even derive a small amount of money from the advertising.

I don't think the idea of giving a student directory to only PTA members is worth the time and effort required.  It distances parents who may not join the PTA but might spend time volunteering to help the PTA.  It goes against the mission of the National PTA to supply services and products to ALL in a school.

They do supply services and products to ALL in the school.  The kids.  The kids are in the school, remember?  It is not the parent.  The parents are the ones that should be helping the PTA to help ALL in the school.

And our PTA members spends about a month getting advertising for even more money back to the school and does the whole directory themselves, which takes about 25 hours total to do, not including distributing.  So if you want one, fork over $15 of PTA dues to get one.  If you are that against the PTA and all the help they do for the school, then don't join and don't get a directory.  Simple Enough.

Oh, wait it isn't that simple.  There is always someone (OP) that has to complain and whine and cry that it isn't fair.  [/quote]
