[quote=Anonymous]PTA treasurer here again. Another point on throwing good events and making money is to carefully select and manage your volunteers. Some parents have no business sense and spend/waste way too much on events. I was shocked at the parents who expected a big cushy budget to buy tons of high end balloons, decorations, give aways, pay performers, give all volunteers a take away gift and then never factored in how many people might buy something or what price they were setting. Some of the traditional biggest fundraisers in the hands of a "shopper with no business sense" become break even at best or money losers. Avoid the parents who expect the event to be on par with their daughters wedding. Don't assume that your event chair understands the concept of a fundraiser. I guarantee you that elementary age kids are not looking at the quality of the table coverings. [/quote]
