Then don't donate. Spend your money and time how you so fit.

Easy. [/quote]

You know OP begrudgingly donates about $10 a year then moans about where her dollars are going. Clearly doesn’t donate any time either if she has no idea what these events even are. Just save the $10 and do nothing. Nobody will notice.[/quote]

Yeah if there is an event to thank people who have hundreds or thousands, the return to the school is worth it.

The only adult only event I can think of at our school is a volunteer thank you breakfast.[/quote]

I disagree. It is a PTA that should be focused on the school not fundraising. [/quote]

Ugh this makes me want to leave public school. If I give thousands and we get a thank you dinner, the school still makes money. Some people are so dumb.[/quote]

Again the PTA is not the venue for you to be individually feted as a philanthropist. [/quote]

Our school doesn’t give us a thank you dinner so it is a moot point. If they did, i was just commenting that it would be a small token of gratitude to those who donate time and money.

I already commented that I was the fundraising chair previously and all the events were fundraiser so the pta or school is NOT buying any adults dinner or drinks. We have to buy ourselves or we have to buy tickets for the event and then bid for a fundraiser.[/quote]
